Start Counting in November

WDFW’s 8th annual backyard winter bird feeding survey starts in November, with veteran counters soon to receive forms in the mail.

Data are used for songbird tracking and management across the state.

If you’d like to help with this fun count of birds, just mail us a postcard with your name and address to Winter Backyard Bird Survey, WDFW, 16018 Mill Creek Blvd., Mill Creek, WA 98012; or send e-mail to thomppat@dfw.wa.gov.

It’s a simple process: just watch your feeders carefully for a couple of days every other week through the season, record numbers by species, and return data forms to us in the spring.

(See the Backyard Bird Survey Website for more information.)
