Winter Avian Ecology Study Nov 15 - through March 15. This study will monitor diversity of species, timelines of winter birds and migratory birds wintering over, how the winter bird population and diversity changes from winter to winter. We will also monitor how snowfall, temperature and weather conditions affects the changes, and do the weights of birds change from winter to winter related to weather data.
Banding will occur between the dates of November 15 to March 15. Extra attempts will be made to band on days with snow accumulation. Point counts will be conducted each morning to monitor all species encountered at the feeder area. Thistle seed, black oil sunflower seeds, bird seed mix and suet cakes will be used.
to-date totals Total no. birds netted = 838 Total no. species seen at feeders = 33 Total no. birds banded = 647 Total no. bird recaptured = 191
