PROJECT WILDBIRD is the first continent-wide scientific research study of the feed and feeder preferences of the birds that visit our backyards. In return for your time to record your observations as an Experimental Citizen Scientist as detailed below, PROJECT WILDBIRD will provide you with your supplies, i.e. feed, feeders, poles and baffles.

Experimental Citizen Scientists must be highly knowledgeable of the birds in their area. We ask that the Experimental Citizen Scientists be able to identify to species over 95% of the common feeder birds and over 80% of the uncommon feeder birds in your area. If you do not meet this criterion, please consider the Observational approach as you work to build your bird identifying skills.

PROJECT WILDBIRD is designed to be easy for you to enter your data on-line. Once you have reviewed the information below, please click here to go to the enrollment area where you will enter your contact information and answer a short questionnaire on your knowledge of wild birds and your agreement with the Experimental research protocol. After you submit your questionnaire, you may expect to receive a personal phone call from Principal Investigator Dr. David Horn within a few days.

We appreciate your interest in PROJECT WILDBIRD and we look forward to welcoming you to our community!

Thanks. My fiance will probably like this. He got a new pair of binoculars for x-mas and is always checking out the birds at our feeders.
