More CitSci: The following project is another timely attempt to estimate if different birds and their food/prey items (including caterpillars of butterflies and other insects) are changing the timing of their reproductive seasonal cycles (aka Phenology).

Researchers are using the data collected in *Caterpillars Count!* to help determine if plants, insects and birds are all responding to ongoing changes in climate to the same degree. We are actively seeking new partners to start up *Caterpillars Count! *survey sites for the 2019 spring and summer and beyond. *Join our free webinar to learn more* about starting up your own *Caterpillars Count!* site for 2019!
