Focus on Feeders Migrates to The Great Backyard Bird Count

By John Sill.

Mass Audubon invites you to join Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s (CLO) Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) this winter.

For many years we ran a winter feeder watch program, Focus on Feeders (FoF), which attracted many observers. But, over time, it became clear that joining forces with the larger, nationwide effort by CLO would make the data more useful – and that is the point of citizen science.

This year we are asking FoF Folks to join CLO’s GBBC (I really wanted to write that sentence!), and to do it for the birds.
