RE: Citizen Science: Project FeederWatch -- Count #13 Report w/Original Photos
The entire project is getting some mainstream publicity. Case in point: "Your Birdfeeder Is a Battleground, But the Bigger Birds Don't Always Win."
All the underlying data for the above "bird feeder fight club" article came from the Project Feeder Watch data set.
So you had a hand in helping the guy who wrote it!
National Geographic hosted a webinar presentation on what researchers are doing with Project FeederWatch data. It was eye-opening. They have also been using NEXRAD radar to track bird movements at night. Then they showed a new antennae sent to the International Space Station to track tagged animals and monitor migration habits. It all keeps one motivated for submitting the bird counts.
Yes, there is a lot of research being done by Cornell University and others.
Have a great week!
Steem on,
Mike
