- Description:

- Abstract:
-
Project FeederWatch is a winter-long survey of birds that visit feeders at backyards, nature centers, community areas, and other locales in North America. FeederWatchers periodically count the highest numbers of each species they see at their feeders from November through early April. FeederWatch helps scientists track broadscale movements of winter bird populations and long-term trends in bird distribution and abundance. Project FeederWatch is operated by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in partnership with Audubon, Bird Studies Canada, and Nature Canada.
- Purpose:
-
To track broadscale movements of winter bird populations and long-term trends in bird distribution and abundance. Also to detect and explain changes in the wintering ranges of many species.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
Data summaries are available on the Project FeederWatch web site and in the Cornell Lab of Ornithology newsletter, BirdScope. Data retrieval tools including simple trend graphs and distribution maps are available to the public on the Project FeederWatch web site.

The location of each count site is determined by zip or postal code. The sampling locations are determined by the individual participants. Exact latitude and longitude coordinates are available for many recently established count sites.

- Methodology:
-
- Methodology_Type: Field
- Methodology_Description:
-
Participants select and define the count site (the area within which the feeders are placed). They then count the birds they see in this area. The same site is used all season. Count days are two consecutive days that are selected in advance for the watching of the feeders. Two Count Days are selected during each Count Period. If data are submitted on paper forms, each Count Period is two weeks long. If data are submitted online, counts may be done every week.
- Process_Step:
-
- Process_Description:
-
FeederWatch scientists merge all the FeederWatch data, run the data through a series of editing programs, and begin summarizing the data into two variables for each species: "percentage of feeders visited" and "mean group size." Both variables provide an index of species abundance.
