eBird on the Road

January 18, 2008

Godwit Days, Arcata, CA.

Want to find out more about eBird . . . in person? Perhaps you have specific questions about using eBird. Or maybe you want to know how other people use eBird to keep track of their observations. This year we will maintain a calendar of upcoming events where eBird Project Leaders and other expert eBirders will be leading trips, giving eBird talks and conducting workshops on using eBird. During these events, we hope to provide an idea of how to use eBird more effectively--both in the field and on the computer. Topics we're likely to discuss include how researchers make use of these data, how your observations aid conservation efforts, and how you as an eBirder can do more with the application. In the coming months we'll be in Alaska, California, Florida, Texas, and Wisconsin.
