Project FeederWatch Through Project FeederWatch, birders can turn a hobby into valuable research and learn a meaningful way to track backyard bird activity. Those who would like to participate in the survey beginning next fall should sign up now. Each FeederWatcher monitors his or her feeding area on two consecutive days every two weeks, from November through March. The length of time for each observation is up to the participant. FeederWatchers receive a packet of instructions and reporting materials, a handsome poster calendar for scheduling the study days, and the Birdscope newletter, which reports significant findings from the study. The National Audubon Society has recently become an organizational partner in Project Feederwatch,which was started by the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology 10 years ago. To sign up, call 1-800-843-BIRD and charge your membership by phone, or mail your check for $15 ($35 to become a member of the Laboratory) to Project FeederWatch/ Audubon, Cornell Lab of Ornithology, P.O. Box 11, Ithaca, New York 14581-0011. The e-mail address for more information is clomembership@cornell.edu, or check out the FeederWatch Web site at http://www.ornith.cornell.edu.
