Project FeederWatch

Friday, November 10, 2006

I know that many garden bloggers are also avid backyard bird watchers. If you have a bird feeder in your garden or backyard, here's a chance to help scientists learn more about the location and health of certain bird populations. Join Project FeederWatch!

The project is simple: Put up a bird feeder, count the birds that visit, and then send the information to scientists at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Bird watchers in the USA and Canada are eligible to participate. Check out all the details here. Their Web site also has great photos and information about feeding birds.
