Every winter, more than 15,000 birdwatchers throughout North America volunteer for Project FeederWatch, a joint program of Bird Studies Canada and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Participating in this annual survey of birds that visit backyard feeders is easy and fun! At regular intervals from November to April, ‘FeederWatchers’ count the kinds and numbers of birds at their feeders, then submit their observations. The results help scientists detect and study winter bird population trends. The next Project FeederWatch season begins Satureday November 13/10, running until Friday, April 8, 2011.
