"Under-eBirded Boulder County: An Introduction to eBird Field Trip"
What is eBird? How can we use it? How is this
“crowd-sourced, citizen science” helping conservation? Join Bryan
Guarente on this outing to under e-Birded locations in Boulder County,
while learning to enter your sightings into this database. Maybe you'll
discover a new location close to home, maybe you'll fall in love with a
new patch of land, or maybe we'll find breeding species in an area that
wasn't known before. Your new skills can be applied on either a smart
phone in the field or from the comfort of your own home after the field
trip.
Meet at 7:30 to carpool from the Niwot Park and Ride between the
lanes of the Diagonal.
eBird was initiated in 2002 by the Cornell Laboratory of
Ornithology and has now grown into the largest compilation of bird
records for abundance and distribution.
