Urban Kids
Since 1996, families, classrooms, and youth groups all over the world have been helping researchers at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology study one of the most common and perhaps misunderstood birds: the pigeon. Now, thanks to a one million dollar grant from the National Science Foundation, several new focus areas will join Project Pigeon Watch as part of an Urban Bird Studies initiative, engaging more children to study a greater variety of bird species.

Feed the Birds
If you have been implementing our recommendations in the Backyard Habitats topic area your garden should be full of natural food for birds. Flowers that were not deadheaded have produced seed, carefully selected shrubs and trees are covered with berries. However, for various reasons you may want to introduce feeders into your backyard. In our garden, despite the many natural sources, we still locate various types of feeders close to our main viewing window. These not only allow us to get a closer look at the birds but provide supplemental food sources, especially later in the winter.
