At regular intervals from November to April, thousands of FeederWatchers count the kinds and numbers of birds at their
feeders, then submit their observations to us. This information
helps scientists study winter bird populations.
Project FeederWatch participants receive a full-colour bird poster
and calendar, a FeederWatch Handbook and Instruction Book, access to
the data entry portion of the FeederWatch website, and the chance to
contribute to a continent-wide bird research project.
Project FeederWatch is a joint program of Bird Studies Canada and
the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. In Canada, you must be a member of
Bird Studies Canada (BSC) to participate. BSC membership benefits
include a subscription to our Monthly
Latest News e-newsletter, four issues a year of
BirdWatch Canada magazine, free participation in any of our
volunteer programs, and a charitable tax receipt for the full amount
of your membership.

feeding birds and creating a safe feeding environment.
