Seen a sick bird and want to report it?
Unfortunately, we no longer have a system for collecting information on diseased birds from anyone who wants to report their observations. The House Finch Disease Survey has been stopped because we have been unable to obtain the funding to manage this citizen-science project. Participants in Project FeederWatch, a winter-long count of birds at bird feeders, optionally can provide their observations of diseased House Finches. Please consider joining Project FeederWatch, to tell us not just about diseased birds but about all of the birds visiting your feeders in winter. For a limited time starting in mid-2009, existing participants in the House Finch Disease Survey can continue submitting observations until the supply of data-collection forms is exhausted.
