Project FeederWatch

Project FeederWatch is a joint research and education project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Bird Studies Canada. From November through early April, FeederWatchers periodically count the birds they see at their feeders and send their counts to Project FeederWatch. The data collected helps scientists track the movements of winter bird populations and monitor trends in bird distribution and abundance.

Wild Birds Unlimited is a proud sponsor of Project FeederWatch.
