I'm not quite sure what information you are after, but I think the Cornell Lab of Ornithology will have a lot of information you will find useful. Have a look at their website and resources:
http://www.birds.cornell.edu/
Also, there are several citizen science associations around the globe (e.g. the CSA in North America, the ECSA in Europe and ACSA in Australia - they are worth looking at, too.
I know the famous lab and cited it in my Chinese paper. But, what my interest is not observation, but control field experiment. I will read more about the lab and follow you already. Wish you have interesting in my project.
I will be. But, the first thing is to finish my research of standards of sites selection and protocol, then I will know what and how citizen science envolves. We can meet in Beijing, if you ateend 2017 INTECOL.
