Bird Watching Robot
Ken Goldberg, a researcher at the University of California at Berkeley has been working with colleagues to develop a robot that can search for the elusive ivory-billed woodpecker. The ivory-billed woodpecker was once thought to be extinct, but was spotted by a bird watcher in 2004. The project poses some interesting software engineering challenges that you can read about here.

Sorry, both were caused by the odd way the HTML editor tries to be smart and changes your selection as you are dragging. Both of my pasted links were goofed up.
I'll be more careful in the future.

Ive seen one here 2 years ago this month. I should somehow make the NXT lookout for it if it ever comes around again.
That sounds like a great project! Maybe you should put a Mindstorms camera with your NXT so you can capture a picture next time.
I've been thinking about doing a datalogging experiment by putting my NXT with Ultrasonic sensor next to our birdhouse or birdbath to log the frequency of activity there. This is motivating me to get that ready for when things thaw out around here!
