Here’s what’s happening this week in the Chattanooga area.

For bird nerds

Birdwatching has been shown to help reduce stress and anxiety, but keeping an eye on our feathered friends can also be good for the birds. If you’re a regular birdwatcher, or want to be, consider taking part in Project FeederWatch, which starts its 38th season on Nov. 1. A joint research and education project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Birds Canada, Project FeederWatch gathers information abut how bird populations are faring across the United States and Canada. Participants also can share details about squirrels, deer, raccoons, bears or other mammals they see at their count sites. Watchers make periodic two-day counts at their designated watch sites from November through April, spending as much or as little time as they wish. You can also report what you see even if you don’t have a bird feeder. The participation fee in the U.S. is $18. Sign up at FeederWatch.org.
