Project FeederWatch Electronic Newsletter
November 3, 2006

Just one more week until the 20th season of FeederWatch begins on 
November 11!

The number of FeederWatch participants is currently lower than last 
year, and we are asking for your help to recruit new friends to the 
FeederWatch family. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology has issued four press 
releases highlighting recent findings and calling for new and continuing 
participants to join in as we embark on our 20th season. To read the 
press releases, visit http://www.birds.cornell.edu/pfw/MediaCorner.htm .

We hope you'll forward the regionally appropriate press releases to your 
local newspapers and radio stations. Local coverage often results in new 
participants who will help ensure that information from your area is 
well represented in our database. We also hope you'll spread word to 
your list serves, birding clubs, family, and friends who might enjoy 
sharing their counts with us this year. A paragraph of information about 
how to sign-up is included below. Thank you for your help!

TEXT TO FORWARD:

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 FeederWacther's handbook, a 
bird-identification poster, a calendar, and a subscription to the 
newsletter of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology (U.S.) or Bird Studies 
Canada (Canada). For more information or to sign up in the U.S., please 
visit http://www.birds.cornell.edu/pfw/ or call (800) 843-2473; if in 
Canada, please visit http://www.bsc-eoc.org/national/pfw.html or call 
(888) 448-2473. A $15 fee ($35 in Canada) makes the program possible.
