New Jersey American Oystercatcher Tracker

Help scientists monitor American oystercatchers across New Jersey by reporting sightings from beaches, marshes, bays, rooftops, and other coastal habitats. Your observations will support research on where these birds nest, feed, rest, and migrate throughout the year.

Participants can submit the number of birds seen, report colorful leg band codes, upload photos, and share notes about behavior or habitat. These community observations help conservationists better understand and protect this important shorebird species.
