Participate Now through April
Project FeederWatch is a survey where participants count the birds they see and send their counts online. Bird counts help you keep track of what is happening in your own backyard and help scientists track long-term trends in bird distribution and abundance. Plus, the survey is completely flexible: You choose the location, when to count, and how much time to observe.
The annual participation fee is $18 (You'll also receive a $10 Wild Birds Unlimited coupon). But, from now through November 15th, you can join for $5. Use discount code PFWFRIEND at checkout. FeederWatch’s participant fees cover website and database maintenance, data analysis, participant support, printing and shipping project materials, and dissemination of information learned from FeederWatch data.
Counting Birds is as easy as 1-2-3
1. Choose your site
2. Count the birds that visit
