Got birds? Tell FeederWatch

Thanksgiving is over, the guests are gone, the kitchen is clean. Forget the mall. It's time to relax and count birds.

That's right: count birds for science. Feeder birds carry an important message about the health of bird populations and our environment.  Backyard birders can help decode that message by simply counting the birds they see and sending the data to Project FeederWatch. It's simple to do.

The 28^th season of this Cornell Lab of Ornithology citizen-science project began November 8 and continues through April 3, 2015.

New and returning participants can sign up at www.FeederWatch.org.

Happy Birding!
