Calling all bird enthusiasts - we need you!!

We are now recruiting volunteers from across the Western U.S. for our winter Rosy-finch Bird Feeder survey project. Volunteers for this project spend 20-minutes each month from December through April doing a count of Rosy-finches and other birds at their home bird feeder, or a publicly accessible feeder near them. To participate, you just need to be located within the winter range of the three North American Rosy-finch species: the Gray-crowned, Black, and Brown-capped Rosy-finch (see map below). Even if ysou haven't seen rosy-finches at your feeder before, if you're in the range, we'd love your participation! Learn more about the project at https://sagelandcollaborative.org/rosy-finch

1. Watch our online training presentation here.
