Millions of FeederWatch observations now at your fingertips!

Where do all the cardinals live? Are Anna’s Hummingbirds expanding their winter range? What years have nuthatch irruptions? The new FeederWatch trend graphs are here to provide the answers in a colorful and fun way!

Animated maps show changing “bubbles” of abundance: the bigger the bubble, the more common or abundant a species is in that region. Trend graphs show how species’ populations change over time, and you can look at up to three species simultaneously in the same graph (using the “compare” button). Are Dark-eyed Juncos more common at feeders than American Goldfinches? Are they more common everywhere in North America, or just some regions? The answers are now only a few clicks away!

Start exploring here, and see how we put the millions of FeederWatch observations to use!
