Project FeederWatch begins November 1!

 


 

Each winter, thousands of people come together to monitor birds in neighborhoods across the U.S. and Canada. Will you join us this year?

 

Sign up for Project FeederWatch, a fun and easy way to make your bird observations count this winter. By sharing your observations, you help us understand how birds are doing and identify effective conservation actions. This year, FeederWatchers will also have a chance to participate in an international study on bird-glass collisions – one of the major threats facing birds today.

What will I receive as a participant?

 

Your participation supports vital bird research and conservation and connects you to a passionate community of bird lovers. In addition, you will receive:

  • a backyard bird identification poster
  • a calendar to help you remember your counting days
  • access to an app to keep track of birds at your count site
  • invitations to special events, including webinars and bird trivia nights

Why is there a fee?

 

The $18 fee supports our non-profit monitoring program, providing the critical revenue we need to operate Project FeederWatch and fund our research.


I look forward to sharing the joy of winter birding with you and our incredible community of participatory scientists who make our research possible.

 

Sincerely,

Olivia
