The survey started in <\/span>Kansas<\/span><\/st1:place><\/st1:state>, January of 1988. During the 2002 survey the project expanded to anyone in the <\/span>United States<\/span><\/st1:place><\/st1:country-region> who would like to participate. Data is gathered by hundreds of volunteers, who watch their feeders and count birds on two, of four designated days, that visit their backyards or school feeders, in January of each year. The Online Winter Bird Feeder Survey is collaboration between the PathFinder Science and the Kansas Wildlife and Parks and collaborative network of students, teachers, volunteers and researchers dedicated to the study of the birds. The data collected on this project is invaluable to wildlife planners and researchers.
