All new Project FeederWatch participants receive a research kit in the mail. Renewing participants can choose not to receive a kit. Participants have the option of submitting their bird counts through our website or on paper data forms. When you sign-up, choose the type of kit that you would like to receive. Each year we start shipping kits in the fall.
