This is a national event that takes place over three days: Feb 15-18, and is sponsored by Cornell's famous Lab of Ornithology and Audubon. It takes minimal time in the field. You can do it in your backyard or anywhere outside, and you get to enter data that scientists actually use.

Also, the Cornell Institute now has new homeschool materials based on their Project Feeder Watch program. It is a free download.
