Mission
The Rouge River Bird Observatory was established in 1992 to explore an understudied yet increasingly important area of research: the importance of urban natural areas to birds. In our increasingly urbanizing world, habitat fragments in metropolitan areas become more critical to birds. Understanding how birds use them is essential for conservation. RRBO is a donor-funded project of the University of Michigan-Dearborn's Environmental Interpretive Center.
