Project Feederwatch

The official Project Feederwatch has started for the 07/08 season.

In Project Feederwatch you count the birds which enter your pre-determined watch area over a 2-day period every two weeks. The final count that you record is the maximum number of each species that was present at one time. For example, if on Day 1 you see 2 Blue Jays all at once and on Day 2 you see 10 Blue Jays all at once then the final count you record is 10 Blue Jays. The Feederwatch season starts in mid November and ends at the start of Spring. Note that the dates on the charts below designate the second count day. Also note that for the 98/99 season I didn't get started until mid December.

Rare Birds : During the Winter of 02/03 I had a Purple Finch hanging around for most of the Winter and for the Winter of 03/04 I had up to three Purple Finches and three American Goldfinches until start of Jan/04.

For the start of 04/05 the Purple Finches are back for the cold season again and more in number - 7. Ended up with 1 Purple Finch through the whole winter.

For the start of 05/06 I have had 1 Purple Finch everyday and for one day I had an American Goldfinch.

For the start of 06/07 I have a Harris' Sparrow but no Purple Finch yet.

For the start of 07/08 I have an American Goldfinch.
