N.H. Audubon has received quite a few calls from worried bird watchers whose birds seem to have disappeared from their feeders. But have they really gone or just moved next door? Help NHA determine what's happening by taking part in the annual New Hampshire Backyard Winter Bird Survey on Saturday, Feb. 14, and Sunday, Feb. 15. Biologists need assistance from citizens all over the Granite State to get a clearer picture of what's really happening with our winter birds this year.
Anyone can participate in the Backyard Winter Bird Survey by counting the birds in their own backyard on the survey weekend and sending the results on a special reporting form to NHA. To receive a copy of the reporting form and complete instructions on how to participate, send a self-addressed, stamped, long envelope to: New Hampshire Audubon, Winter Bird Survey, 84 Silk Farm Road, Concord N.H. 03301-8200.
Forms are also available at N.H. Audubon centers in Auburn, Concord, Laconia and Manchester, or you can find them on the NHA website, along with more information about the survey at nhaudubon.org under the “birding” page.
