eBird for Beginners

eBird is an excellent tool for citizen science, a fun way to plan a birding trip, and a great method for keeping track of and sharing bird observations. This class will cover both the web site and mobile versions of the program. You will also visit the field to practice using the mobile version of eBird.

Note: This event is for Age 12+. Bring your smart phone fully charged. Bring binoculars if you have them.
