Each year, participants in Fairbanks FeederCount watch their backyard bird feeders and record sightings on three Saturdays throughout the winter (or within a week of the official count date). For help identifying backyard birds, take a look at “Common Winter Feeder Birds of Alaska,” an infographic created by the Alaska Bird Observatory. If you would like to participate, but are unavailable for one or two dates, you can submit data for just the date(s) you are available. After March 6, mail your counting sheet to the Alaska Songbird Institute at P.O. Box 80235, Fairbanks, AK 99708.

Please stay tuned for the 2024-2025 count dates and the counting sheets.
