Use FeederWatch data to answer such questions as:

Where are the birds?
FeederWatch data show distributions of feeder birds at thousands of feeders across the North American continent each winter -- Feeder Bird Distributions.

We can keep track of changes in winter ranges of feeder birds. Using maps, you can see geographic shifts in bird populations (distributions) each winter and compare the numbers of birds (abundance) from one winter to the next. These maps are powerful tools for finding gradual changes in the winter ranges of birds -- Population Maps.

How many birds are there?
The data tell us the number of each feeder bird species seen by FeederWatchers -- Feeder Bird Abundance.

We can also use FeederWatch data to help with conservation efforts across the continent. Understanding changes in feeder bird populations can help concerned people (citizens, scientists, politicians) make decisions that can affect the environment. For more information, check out the Citizen's Guide to Bird Conservation and our list of Conservation articles from Birdscope.
