Description:
Join Terri Berkheimer for a Bird Walk over mowed paths with possible mud, followed by the presentation. Learn about online resources to help you identify birds, discover birding locations and participate in the local, regional, and global birding community through participatory science opportunities. Resources covered include: Cornell Lab’s All About Birds, eBird, Project FeederWatch, Merlin Bird ID and BirdCast.
What to bring: 1. Binoculars, if you have a pair. (A few pairs will be available to borrow) 2. Merlin Bird ID by Cornell Lab app on your phone. Download the Merlin Bird ID by Cornell Lab app with NE and SE bird packs before the workshop (if you are comfortable doing so). It is free but requires an email address. We will be using this app for some workshop exercises.
