Citizen Science: Project FeederWatch -- Count #16 Report w/Original Photos
Citizen science is a great way to involve children and adults in the discovery of nature and contributing to scientific research and conservation. Project FeederWatch through Cornell University is a great way to get involved in citizen science. You can learn more at the Project FeederWatch website.
I typically watch birds on Saturday and Sunday. This is my report for 24-25 February 2018.

Its really great photography. Its so hard to take such clear pictures of these creatures. I appreciate your work. Keep it up. Wish you avery happy and bright future.
@etcmike have you taken these birds photographs in zoo?
Beautiful birds,I love nature and birds are the part of nature :)
I will be going to the zoo tomorrow. Tomorrow I will be going to the area where they have lion, tigers, and leopards.
Not all the birds and animals are outside because it is still a little to cold for them right now. This will change as spring/summer approaches.
There is a jungle building where there are very colorful birds. But it is very warm and humid in there. If I take my cold camera equipment in there it will fog up everything. I have to wait until it get much warmer before taking my camera into the jungle area.
Have a wonderful week!
Steem on,
Mike
