Join Us for a Virtual Program on Monday evening on how your eBirding Helps Birds

[Joe Coleman]

I hope you can join us on Monday evening for the following program by Alli Smith, Merlin Program Coordinator, and pls let anyone you think would be interested in the program know about it.

How Your eBirding Helps Birds — Monday, September 16, 7:00 pm. Virtual. Birds capture the human spirit, imagination, and passion in a way that few other organisms do. They are also the most accessible and sensitive indicator of ecosystem health and climate change. Never before have we had as great an opportunity to bring together people from around the world to monitor and understand our natural world — simply by watching birds. Already, nearly 1 million people around the world report their observations to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s eBird. Using advanced techniques at the interface of computer science and statistics, we now have unprecedented insights into the distribution, abundance, and population trends of birds on a global and local scale. This data has the power to greatly inform conservation — Alli Smith, Merlin Program Coordinator at the Lab, will explain how this data is being used to help birds around the world. This program is co-sponsored by Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy and the Loudoun County Public Library.
