Most commonly seen birds in Montana

Data from 49 Montana sites shows Black-capped Chickadees visited 88% of feeders, helping scientists track bird population trends through citizen science.

  • In Montana, 49 sites submitted observations from Feb. 28 to Mar. 13, ranking birds by percent of sites visited, as reported by the citizen-science program.
  • As a citizen‑science effort, Project FeederWatch relies on FeederWatch participants to collect and submit feeder counts, and it was founded in Ontario in 1976 by Erica Dunn and the Long Point Bird Observatory.
  • Northern Cardinal topped many feeders, recorded at 94% of sites with an average group size of 2.52.
  • Under the ranking rules, ties were broken by average group size, and states with fewer than 10 count sites were excluded from rankings.
  • Partnering with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology after a decade enabled nationwide scaling; Project FeederWatch now reaches over 20,000 participants and supplies data to scientists tracking bird population trends.
