The Florida Bird Monitoring Program serves to provide a website forum for people from throughout the state to share data collected in regards to bird sightings on their properties and in their neighborhoods. The program was developed by the Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation's Wildlife Extension office.

Participants collect information on the types of birds seen in their yards and neighborhoods, then share and compare survey results through the monitoring program's website. Participants landscaping for wildlife habitat friendly design also employ the forum to exchange information regarding which strategies were effective, and which attracted various species as opposed to others, etc.

You name the area, from rural, to forested, to agricultural, to densely urban city environments, if there are bird there, the area is an excellent place to conduct a survey and share results.
