     Editor’s Note - Project FeederWatch is a joint undertaking of the Long Point 
     
     Bird Observatory and the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. It is 
     
     providing critical information on the population of wild birds through 
     
     incorporating the observations of thousands of birds watchers across 
     
     North America simply by their completion of a pencil marked data form 
     
     which can be scanned for entry into a computer. It provides 
     
     participants with detailed information on the results and on feeding 
     
     studies. See Gift Ideas on page 10 if you would like to join.
