in Project FeederWatch?

The Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Bird Studies Canada are non-profit organizations supported primarily by participant and membership fees. Project FeederWatch would not be possible without the support of our participants--scientifically and financially. FeederWatch's participant fees pay for the maintenance of this web site and the database of bird counts submitted by participants, data analysis, participant support, the printing and shipping of project materials, and the dissemination of information learned from the data. The fees also help cover the cost of publishing a year-end report, Winter Bird Highlights. While FeederWatch staff constantly seek other sources of funding, the reality is that without participant fees, the project would have to shut down.
