What you will find in the app

You can use the FeederWatch app to keep track of your counts, note your snow depth and effort, and submit your counts directly to our database—no need for a paper tally sheet or to transfer your counts to the website. You can also describe your count site in the app, view a list of species you have reported to FeederWatch, and more.

The app is connected to the Cornell Lab’s All About Birds online guide. Just tap the species name under the thumbnail on the count screen to see detailed information, including photos, identification tips, natural history, and a range map. And at the bottom of the app’s home page, you can access FeederWatch’s Common Feeder Birds interactive tool to see which birds prefer which foods in any region of the U.S. or Canada.
