You don’t have to don a vest or even own a
floppy hat to count birds for science. Project
FeederWatch is a winter-long survey of birds that visit feeders at backyards,
parks and nature centers. To
participate, simply count the birds you see at your feeders during any two-day
period from November through early April and post your counts on the Project
FeederWatch website. Your data helps
scientists track the movements of winter bird populations and long-term trends
in bird distribution and abundance.
Project FeederWatch is sponsored by the Cornell Lab of
Ornithology and Bird Studies Canada.

Happy Birding!
