Good Morning!
Like us, you probably often get asked to make presentations about birds in your community. We can help! The Cornell Lab of Ornithology has developed several slide shows about birds and bird feeding, including a show about the birds most commonly seen in your region. PowerPoint versions of all of the shows are available to you FREE online. These presentations include:
* Backyard Bird Feeding: feeders, what to feed, outwitting squirrels, and more
* Top 20 Feeder Birds: customized for your state or province.
* About Project FeederWatch: describes our feeder-bird survey that anyone can join
We value the public education provided through nature centers, stores, and clubs such as yours and we appreciate your efforts to further enhance people's knowledge of birds. Please take advantage of these free programs by visiting <http://www.birds.cornell.edu/pfw/MediaSlideShows.htm>http://www.birds.cornell.edu/pfw/MediaSlideShows.htm to download these presentations as well as optional scripts that accompany them. If you do not have digital projection equipment, 35 mm slide versions are also available for purchase.
You also will find a PDF flyer attached to this email with information about Project FeederWatch, which starts its 20th year on November 11. We would be grateful if you could post this flyer and encourage more people to participate. The more people counting the birds at their feeders, the more we can learn about the birds that we all enjoy.
Thanks for caring for the birds!
Sincerely, Your friends at Project FeederWatch and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology
