One of the many bird species we hope to count during FeederWatch, a
Carolina Wren feasts on peanuts.
Last Month of
Project FeederWatch
Calling all birders! Join Darke County Park District, and participate
in the last month of Project FeederWatch, every Tuesday and Wednesday
from 9:30-11:30am through March 30th. This is a unique ‘Citizen
Science’ program organized by Cornell University which studies winter
bird populations. Observations from 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 chilly early spring 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.
