Project FeederWatch is a winter-long survey of birds that visit feeders at backyards, nature centers, community areas, and other locales in North America. A winter of bird feeding requires a lot of food, too-during the winter of 2014-15, over 750 lb of sunflower seeds were consumed by the hungry birds! About Project FeederWatch The years of FeederWatching have brought amazing views to the Haches some of the highlights included counts with over 200 Evening Grosbeaks seen at once, high counts of 20+ Hoary Redpolls, an extremely out-of-range White-winged Dove, and the constant buzzing of hummingbirds in the summer. Tammie and Ben Hache have been members of Project FeederWatch since 2002, meticulously counting their backyard birds to help better understand what birds are doing throughout the winter.
The site in Manitouwadge hosts an Axis P1445-LE camera and a suite of Perky-Pet feeders.
