Project FeederWatch is a program of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. This program is for anyone who enjoys watching birds come to their feeder and would be willing to set aside some time to identify and count birds in their backyards and report them to Cornell for scientists to use in gathering data about bird populations in the United States and Canada. The program runs from November 11, 2006 through April 6, 2007 and packets take a few weeks to arrive.
The annual participant's fee is $15 and for that you receive:
Instruction set
FeederWatch handbook, filled with tips for
attracting birds to your yard
maintaining a clean and safe feeder area
selecting bird feeders and foods
identifying birds
discouraging predators and pests
Bird-identification poster
Colorful wall calendar to keep track of your bird-counting days
One year subscription to BirdScope
Access to the FeederWatch web site
You can report your data either manually through the mail or through the web site. You can also keep track of the data being collected in your area or accross the continent by other Feeder Watchers.
You can be a part of the world's largest research team, studying feeder-bird populations from coast to coast!
