The Wisconsin DNR says Wisconsinites can become community scientists with the launch of a new survey.
The Game Bird Survey is open now through August 31st and allows DNR scientists to track the productivity of game birds such as wild turkeys, ruffed grouse, and pheasants.
Residents just have to record all individual birds and their broods during daylight hours.
The information can be submitted on an app called Survey123.
Survey Coordinator Paul Frater says whenever you are out in the state, residents can help the DNR manage wildlife by collecting data in their area.
It will help the DNR “build a more complete picture of how game birds are doing throughout the state.”
More details about the Wisconsin Game Bird Survey can be found at dnr.wisconsin.gov.
