Wildlife Habitat in Garden Supplies Directory

Project Feeder Watch is a very worthwhile program sponsored by Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Feeders are observed for a period of time and the number of birds visiting the feeders is recorded, along with weather conditions and the length of time observed. This data is used by the lab to track bird activity in winter. The variety of birds attracted to feeders in the winter is amazing. Some of the visitors to my feeders this feeder watching season are pictured to the right. I am able to attract a large variety of birds using black oil sunflower seeds, thistle, suet mixtures, peanuts, and the good old standby...white bread. You will find more information, including how to sign up, at the Project FeederWatch Home Page. This is a great activity to do with your grandkids.
