Do you enjoy watching birds and want to learn which ones are coming to your feeder this winter? Would you like to help other people learn about bird identification? You're invited to join us for Project FeederWatch 2024-2025! Whether you are a beginner or very knowledgeable about birds, everyone is welcome to join us for this great opportunity to start birdwatching or fine-tune your bird ID skills. Anyone interested in birds can participate and is invited to join us in Aullwood’s bird watching room at the Marie S. Aull Education Center from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on FeederWatch dates for a relaxing morning of counting birds and drinking coffee.Project FeederWatch (https://feederwatch.org/) is a winter-long survey of birds seen at feeders, coordinated by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Birds Canada. Feeder watchers periodically count the birds they see from November through March and submit the data to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. These observations helps scientists better understand our winter bird populations as well as long-term trends in bird distribution and abundance. Data from Project FeederWatch helps scientists track broad-scale movements of winter bird populations and long-term trends in bird distribution and abundance. FeederWatch results are regularly published in scientific journals and are shared with ornithologists and bird lovers nationwide.
You can count birds in their own backyard, or you can help Aullwood by counting birds at our feeders! Anyone interested in birds can participate and is invited to join us. Aullwood's Feederwatch is free and no preregistration is required. You’ll stay warm and cozy inside while watching, identifying, and counting birds, and people of all birding skill levels and backgrounds are welcome, including children, families, individuals, retirees and those with accessibility issues. This important community science project is made possible through the tremendous volunteer leadership of Gary and Carolyn Harpel and Chris Birch. Please contact Aullwood Environmental Educator Sam Romeo at [email protected] if you have additional questions about Aullwood's Project FeederWatch.
