Project FeederWatch

Project FeederWatch is operated by the Cornell University Lab of Ornithology and Bird Studies. It is a winter-long survey of birds that visit feeders at backyards. FeederWatchers periodically count the birds they see at their feeders from November through early April and send their counts to Project FeederWatch. That data help scientists track broadscale movements of winter bird populations and long-term trends in bird distribution and abundance.

For years we worked with the Dept. of Wildlife hosting "Bird Weekends" here at the farm with about 1500 people attending each year. My DH has been involved with the Christmas Bird Count for years and years. This project fits right into our commitment to backyard birding....


My entire work area is about 4' square and is next to a window and, as you can see, the feeder is right there. All the hours I'm stitching I'm watching my birds.....every single day...
