11/16/2020 0 Comments Feederwatch BeginsNow that winter is swiftly approaching, the chill is already in the air - the garden has been closed for the winter. The plants have shed their leaves, the grasses have seeded and turned their winter colors and the garden is still busy.
The plants may have hunkered down for the winter, but with the bird feeders out, the garden has been active with birds of all kinds visiting the feeders. FeederWatch has begun. FeederWatch is a yearly program by Cornell University as a citizen scientist program to gather information about birds that visit feeders. The library began participating in the program last year and it brought a lot of joy to see these mostly little birds flitting about the grounds outside. We've decided to participate again. While we can't have kids and families participate like they did last year, but sitting in the windows and identifying birds and counting, you can still see the FeederWatch activity and keep track of our count. Just visit FeederWatch in the menu.
