About this app

Do you feed birds? You can report what you see for science. Project FeederWatch, a joint project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Birds Canada, monitors winter feeder-bird populations in North America. The FeederWatch Mobile App is a new way for Project FeederWatch members to contribute their bird counts.

Sign in to:
•Report birds that visit your count site in winter (US and Canada only)
•Track your sighting statistics in real time
•Access your archive of past counts from all years
•Contribute to North America’s largest database on feeder birds
•Find out what food and feeder types work best for the birds overwintering near you
•Identify and learn about feeder birds

FeederWatch Mobile automatically syncs with the web version for seamless multi-platform support. Your data become immediately available for scientific research, education, and conservation. Thank you for helping birds!

I cannot get past the login attempt. I deleted and reinstalled and still get the same error messages to "restore modal checking" and "restore modal checking version" 11/3/22 There is a workable link on the app login page that takes you to the PFW webpage. I got to the data entry page and the *last* thing allowed is to enter bird counts - after entering all of the ancillary info first. Yay. Pre-realtime data!! Apparently I need to go back to paper and pencil. Please fix this app!!!

So sorry you had trouble with the app! We just released a bug fix that I hope will remedy things for you. (An operating system update changed the data storage interface on some phones.) If the app update does not solve your problem, please do email us at [email protected] so we can get to the bottom of it! - Lisa, FeederWatch app team

I have tried this app on 2 different phones. It works great on an older iphone but is entirely unusable on android. On android it doesn't connect properly to the site, my counts aren't uploaded or saved (it keeps telling me i have an unfinished count from a month ago, but i have submitted several since then). I can't even start a new count.

I have not used this app the last 2 seasons...it was so buggy and useless. I thought I would try it out this season. I made my counts on a notepad and thought I could use my phone to enter. I can't even put in yesterday's date...or any date besides the 2016‐17 season. There isn't a way to "clean up" old counts that I ended up using a computer to enter data from years past. I didn't even get a chance to see if the counting aspect is still glitchy. Uninstall again!
