Project FeederWatch

Do you have a backyard bird feeder? Do you love to watch the winter birds that thrive on your seeds and suet? If so, you might want to join Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Project FeederWatch. It's a data collection program that enlists the help of people like you and me.

Read all about the program within Cornell's Web site:

This year the program runs from November 13 to April 8, 2011, but it's not too late to join. I just did a few days ago and will definitely be sharing some of my experiences here on the Bird Blog. For example, here's a photo of a male Dark-eyed Junco, waiting his turn at the feeder with black-oil sunflower seeds.

Here's hoping you can help. But if you don't feel quite ready or if you need more experience identifying birds, maybe you can learn with me through my Bird Blog. Then next year, you'll be ready to go!

Till next time ... Keep birds in your heart!
