Birdfeeders

As we are busy keeping our bird feeders full during the winter months, sunflower seeds and nyjer in our tube feeders, assorted seeds in our hopper feeders and platform feeders as well as nectar in our hummingbird feeders, joining Project FeederWatch is a great way to learn more about birds. Members have the support of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and countless other birders, all accessible by e-mail when you join. For information: www.birds.cornell.edu/pfw/. A $15 fee includes instructions, a handbook about birds and bird feeding, a poster with color illustrations of common feeder birds, a calendar, data forms and return envelopes. Records can also be submitted online. After joining, participants are asked to choose a clearly visible. We already have this established where we are currently positioning our tube feeders, hopper feeders, platform feeders, etc. Since this is a winter count, adding suet feeders is also a good idea.
