Hello everybody!
My name is Lily, I’m new to the group and very excited to be here! I hope to meet everyone in person soon, but in the meantime I have a request for participation in my research study.
As part of the Global Urban Bird Survey at the Bonier Lab at Queen’s University, I’m running a study trying to understand the factors that influence urban bird diversity. I’m looking for participants to complete a short survey (~10 minutes) assessing greenness and human activity in ten short videos (~15 seconds each). If you are able to participate please reply to this email and I will send you the survey link!
I would be so grateful for your help with this project, as the more participants I have, the more robust the data will be, and the more accurate the analysis. My hope is that the data will help guide future urban planning to promote bird biodiversity!
All the best,
Lily

Hi again Lily Is there a study flyer, or website, anything that verifies your association with the project?
And yes, either an email address or a phone number would be great.
Many thanks,
