Project FeederWatch: Your Backyard Birds Make a Difference

November 1 through April 30

Have you ever wondered which birds are visiting your backyard and how their numbers change throughout the seasons? Project FeederWatch, a community science program from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Birds Canada, invites people to become citizen scientists by observing and counting the birds at their feeders. Running from November through April, participants record the birds they see and submit their observations to help researchers better understand bird populations, winter movements, and long-term trends. You don't have to be an expert birdwatcher to participate—just a little curiosity, a place to watch birds, and a willingness to share what you see. It's a wonderful way to enjoy the birds outside your window while contributing to important bird conservation research. Your backyard observations really do make a difference!
