Project
FeederWatch
Calling all birders! Join Darke County Park District, and participate
in Project FeederWatch, every Tuesday and Wednesday from 9:30-11:30am.
This is a unique ‘Citizen Science’ program organized by Cornell
University which studies winter bird populations. Observations from
right here in Darke County may be used in scientific journals and
shared with ornithologists and bird lovers nationwide. No matter your
birding level, beginner or expert, we need YOUR help! Bird watchers
will gather inside the Nature Center at Shawnee Prairie Preserve (4267
St. Rt. 502 West) and count the birds that visit the bird-feeding
station. Drop in anytime on Tuesday or Wednesday from 9:30am-11:30am to
help with the project. There will be warm drinks and goodies available
for those enjoying nature from the comfort of an armchair on a cold
winter’s day. For more information on Project FeederWatch or if you
have any questions about any of the many other programs offered by the
Darke County Park District, call the Nature Center at (937)
548-0165.
