Bird surveyors can keep counting

Our note in last fall's edition about discontinuing WDFW's ten-year-old winter bird feeding surveys prompted many disappointed responses. Although we can't resurrect our survey at this time, those who want to keep counting are encouraged to participate in Cornell University Ornithology Laboratory's "Project FeederWatch," a national program after which our own survey was patterned. You can learn how to join Project FeederWatch at http://birds.cornell.edu/pfw/. The website also has links to other citizen science programs with opportunities to make your year-round observations of birds count.
