Project FeederWatch is a winter-long survey of birds that visit feeders at backyards, nature centers, community areas, and other locales in North America  from November through early April. FeederWatch helps scientists track broadscale movements of winter bird populations and long-term trends in bird distribution and abundance.  It is operated by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Bird Studies Canada and is open to people of all skill levels and backgrounds, including children, families, individuals, classrooms, retired persons, youth groups, nature centers, and bird clubs.  If you have a feeder or two it's great to take advantage of this project and their nice web site.
