eBirds for Beginners

Description of Program: eBird is an excellent tool for citizen science, a fun way to plan a birding trip, and a great method for keeping track of and sharing bird observations. This class will cover both the web site and mobile versions of the program. We will also visit the field to practice using the mobile version of eBird. Age 12 and up. Bring your smart phone fully charged. Bring binoculars if you have them. About the Presenter: Rich Howard is a native Californian whose love of birds and nature has taken him to all seven continents.
