Abstract Birds and their habitats are threatened with extinction around the world. Regional assessments of the “State of Birds” are a vital means to prioritize data‐driven conservation action by informing national and global policy. Such evaluations have traditionally relied on data derived from extensive, long‐term, standardized surveys that require ...
