Ring-necked Duck by Dorian Anderson/Macaulay Library.
Do you enjoy watching waterfowl, but sometimes have trouble telling scaup or teal apart? We’ve all been there, and we can help! We’re excited to partner with the Cornell Lab’s Bird Academy to offer a suite of exciting educational resources in thanks for your eBirding: in February, every eligible checklist that you submit gives you a chance to get free access to Be a Better Birder: Duck and Waterfowl Identification.
Ten lucky eBirders will get this course for free from their February eBirding—just in time for March, one of the peak months for waterfowl migration worldwide! Take this course and start a new chapter of wild goose chases. If you like taking part in the eBirder of the Month Challenges, here are even more excuses to motivate yourself to get out birding. Each month of 2017 will feature a different Bird Academy course offering—tune in at the start of March to see what’s on tap for next month.
