eBird Class for Beginners

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.
Instructors Jen DeSelle and Annie Burks will make it easy for you to get started and feel confident with this Birding App. Room 103 in Olympia Center.
