Hi,

If you are looking for something fun to do on your own, or with your
children or grandchildren this fall and winter, I highly recommend
Project Feederwatch.  

Project FeederWatch needs your help to keep track of the birds at your
feeders this winter. Count birds as often as two days each week from
November 11 to April 6. Your counts will help scientists monitor changes
in feeder bird populations. New participants receive a research kit with
easy to follow instructions, the FeederWatcher's handbook, a
bird-identification poster, a calendar, and a subscription to the
newsletter of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.  For more information or
to sign up in the U.S., please visit http://www.birds.cornell.edu/pfw/
or call (800) 843-2473. A $15 fee makes the program possible.

I have been participating in Project Feederwatch for many years, and I
can tell you it's a lot of fun.  I have fed birds since I was a kid, but
I enjoy and appreciate them a lot more now, thanks to Project
Feederwatch.  Project Feederwatch helps provide scientists with
information needed to preserve birds and their habitats so we will
continue to have beautiful birds in our back yard in the future.
