A Birds-eye View
It's a bird, it's a plane! Nope, it's a drone survey! Join Cerren Richards, Jacqueline Winters, and Eldred Allen of Birdseye Inc. in Rigolet, Nunatsiavut, to conduct bird surveys using drones. Learn how drone surveys can help us understand why seabird populations in Nunatsiavut are changing, and how local knowledge is helping researchers monitor the impact of species like cormorants on native bird populations.

Observe some birds! Students visit three islands to observe the local habitat. They investigate changes in seabird populations using aerial photos, 3D orthomosaic island models, and graphs from real seabird research in Nunatsiavut.
