January 24th 10 – Noon, Olympia Center Room 103 – Beginner Session
Cost is $20. There will be an advanced class in February and one can sign up for either or both sessions. Register below, or you may send a check (marked that it is for the class) to: South Sound Bird Alliance, P.O. Box 2524, Olympia, WA 98507
Cornell’s eBird application provides the platform so you can keep track of species you see, record them in lists attached to a GPS site, share this list with others and help identify species and their behaviors as well. It is an incredibly useful tool for birders of all levels to enhance their birding experiences while contributing to science and conservation.
Beginner Session: If you have not used this tool for your birding experiences, then this class is for you. Download the app on your phone and set up an eBird account before the class, and Jen and Annie will walk you through its basic offerings and best practices for submitting scientifically valuable data. Following the class session, attendees will go outside to a covered shelter along Percival Landing and create their own list of birds spotted from the boardwalk. We will walk you through the process, so it is seamless and easy to use in the future.
