Project FeederWatch

Project FeederWatch is a citizen science program that involves volunteers across North America in observing and recording bird visits at their feeders during the winter months. Participants document the types and numbers of birds they see, helping scientists track population trends, migration patterns, and changes in bird behavior over time. The data collected contributes to research and conservation efforts, improving understanding of how environmental factors impact bird populations. It encourages public engagement with bird ecology while providing valuable scientific information to inform conservation strategies.
