Project FeederWatch at DCP
Calling all birders! Join Darke County Park District, and participate
in Project FeederWatch, every Tuesday and Wednesday from 9-11am. 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 during the above times to help with the
project. There will be warm drinks 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 questions about any
of the many other programs offered by the Darke County Park District,
call the Nature Center at (937) 548-0165.
