Count Birds at Your Feeder
Project FeederWatch has you count the birds that visit your feeder over the winter and report them to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. You watch on your own schedule, jot down what you see, and your counts help scientists spot changes in bird populations. It is a cozy, low-key way to do real science from a window.

“Loved this one — the organizer had everything set up before we arrived and explained exactly what we'd be doing. It ran about 30 minutes long, which caught a few of us off guard, so plan for that. Would definitely come back.”
💡 Bring closed-toe shoes and a water bottle — it gets warm.
