Citizen science is a great way to involve children and adults in the discovery of nature and contributing to scientific research and conservation. Project FeederWatch through Cornell University is a great way to get involved in citizen science. You can learn more at the Project FeederWatch website.
I typically watch birds on Saturday and Sunday. This is my report for 10-11 February 2018.

Bird Watching Notes
Saturday
Saturday was a partly cloudy day with a high temperature of 14 degrees (F) and a low temperature of 6 degrees (F). There were light snow showers during the day.
I caught a glimpse of one of the coyotes in the distance as in hunted for small critters. The coyote still seemed to be favoring one leg.
