How It Works:

  1. Invite a Friend: Pick one birding buddy – someone who enjoys watching birds as much as you do – and invite them to take part in the PatchBird Initiative.

  2. Pledge to Join: Once your friend signs up, you both become part of our growing network of citizen scientists.

  3. Earn Your Rewards: As a thank you for spreading the word, every successful referral earns you an exclusive PatchBird Ambassador Bird Artwork Print and a chance to be featured on our website and Facebook page. We’re also considering additional perks – stay tuned for more details!


Why Become an Ambassador?

  • Expand the Community: Your recommendation helps create a diverse and vibrant network of bird enthusiasts and citizen scientists.

  • Enhance Your Experience: By connecting with friends, you can share sightings, swap tips, and enjoy birding adventures together, making your participation even more rewarding.

  • Make a Difference: Every new surveyor contributes to our growing dataset, improving the quality and impact of our research on bird populations and conservation efforts.


We believe that birding is more fun when it’s shared. So, the next time you are out in the field, think of that one friend who would love to join our mission. Becoming a PatchBird Ambassador is a simple, impactful way to help us all learn, grow, and celebrate the wonder of birds.
