Project FeederWatch 2010-2011

Don't forget to sign up for this year's Project FeederWatch! It's a fun activity that just requires a few hours a week. Whether you get many birds or just a few, it's important to make a contribution and help out the birds! From Bird Studies Canada:

Project FeederWatch Needs Your Help!


At regular intervals from November to April, thousands of FeederWatchers count the kinds and numbers of birds at their feeders, then submit their observations to us. This information helps scientists study winter bird populations.

Project FeederWatch participants receive a full-colour bird poster and calendar, a FeederWatch Handbook and Instruction Book, access to the data entry portion of the FeederWatch website, and the chance to contribute to a continent-wide bird research project.

Project FeederWatch is a joint program of Bird Studies Canada and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. In Canada, you must be a member of Bird Studies Canada (BSC) to participate. BSC membership benefits include a subscription to our bi-weekly Latest News e-newsletter, four issues a year of BirdWatch Canada magazine, free participation in any of our volunteer programs, and a charitable tax receipt for the full amount of your membership.

Next PFW Season: Saturday, November 13, 2010 to Friday, April 8, 2011.
