FeederWatch

We sit in a cozy, warm room at the Lenoir Preserve Nature Center, 19 Dudley St, Yonkers. We watch birds come to the outdoor feeders. A great way to learn about backyard birds, if you’re not familiar with them. Hot drinks and snacks served, too. All are welcome!
FeederWatch is a citizen science project run by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Winter bird populations at feeders are tracked throughout the US and Canada. Note: all weather cancellations will be posted here.
We need volunteers! You will be paired with an experienced FeederWatcher, you only need to bring a box of cookies or donuts. We help you identify birds, fill out forms, set up light refreshments. Email Ruth Deford.
