How can I submit photos of a nest?
On the NestWatch website, you will see a button on each nest attempt page that reads “Upload Nest Photo.” Click this, then choose the nest visit date and upload your photo. Up to three photos can be attached to each nest visit you have recorded. Be sure to select the visit before you browse for photos. Ideally, photos are taken during that day’s nest visit.
If you’re using the app, you will have the ability to add photos when you are filling out your nest visit data. You can also add a photo to your visit after you’ve entered your nest visit data by using the “Edit” toggle at the top of the nest attempt page in the app and then tapping on a row in the “Observations” table to edit data for that specific visit.
Note: You should always prioritize the safety of the birds over taking a good photograph of a nest. Remember to keep nest visits under a minute in length, and do not keep parents off the nest during bad weather or when predators are nearby.
