Project FeederWatch

Turn your backyard birding into real science! November through April

From November through April, bird lovers across North America count the birds at their feeders to help scientists track population trends and movements. It’s fun, easy, and a great way to learn more about your feathered visitors while making a real difference for bird conservation! Learn more at Project FeederWatch.

The Cornell Lab of Ornithology operates Project FeederWatch in partnership with the National Audubon Society, Bird Studies Canada and Canadian Nature Federation. The program relies on volunteers to count birds at their backyard feeders once every two weeks from November to April. The information helps scientists gain a better understanding of population trends and movements of birds and helps develop an awareness of North American feeder bird conservation efforts. Wild Birds Unlimited is a sponsor of this project.
