Backyard birdwatchers across Canada are invited to take part in the 25th season of Project FeederWatch, from Saturday, Nov. 12 through Friday, April 6.
Last year, over 2,500 Canadians and 11,000 Americans counted backyard birds; their observations help scientists better understand the health and behavior of birds - an important indicator for the well being of our planet.
Each checklist submitted by ‘FeederWatchers’ helps scientists at Bird Studies Canada (www.birdscanada.org) and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology (www.birds.cornell.edu) learn more about where birds are, how they are doing, and how to protect them.
Participating in Project FeederWatch is a great way for families and friends to connect with nature, have fun, and help birds. You do not have to be an expert to participate.
Cost to participate is $35.
