Does anyone know if there will be a request for pooper snoopers in 2026? Our area (N/E Wisconsin) didn’t make the cut in 2025 and I thought that could be a great way to spark an interest for our daughter.
Thanks!

Good Morning,
Does anyone know if there will be a request for pooper snoopers in 2026? Our area (N/E Wisconsin) didn’t make the cut in 2025 and I thought that could be a great way to spark an interest for our daughter.

The research is supposed to continue into 2026 so there should be a request for volunteers again soon. I wonder if Colby College will select a completely different group of volunteers for 2026 to include more of the martin's range? We should hear something in the next couple months.

No this was a university study where they were seeking landlords to help collect dropping samples from the young to determine what insects the adults were using to raise the chicks. They were extracting insect dna from the samples to collect data from different areas.
They sent a kit for collection (if they chose your site) and you would fill the vials and mail them back.
