* the total time you spend watching,
* the species you see (or hear), and
* the maximum number of birds of each species seen at any one time.
(This is the same protocol as Project Feederwatch).
I, Donna Scott, club volunteer, will be answering calls (607-379-1694) between 4:00pm and 6:00pm to record your numbers for each species.
* * It is important that you call me between 4 & 6 PM on Jan. 1st , because I have to have time to compile all the feeder data and send it to the person who does the whole compilation of bird data for the Count.
(Please note that this is a personal phone number, to be used only to report feeder counts between 4 - 6pm on January 1, 2026).
The compilation gathering will once again feature a dish-to-pass dinner, and will be held at the Foundation of Light <https://www.thefoundationoflight.org/#find-us> on Friday, January 2, 2026, starting at 6:00 PM.
Jared Dawson will serve as the count compiler and reporter. The counts will be presented after the dinner.
