We hope to see you at this week's Monday Night Seminar at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology!
Monday, October 1, 2012 7:30 p.m. in the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Auditorium Go Birding, Save the World: Large-Scale Lessons from Citizen Science Allen Hurlbert, Assistant Professor, Department of Biology, University of North Carolina Have you ever run a Breeding Bird Survey route? Uploaded a checklist to eBird? Participated in a Christmas Bird Count? Then you can take credit for increasing our scientific understanding of avian ecology and the conservation threats birds face. Allen Hurlbert, assistant professor at the University of North Carolina, will discuss three examples of how these types of citizen-science efforts have provided important insights into geographic patterns of diversity and migration timing, insights that would otherwise have been nearly impossible to achieve. Dr. Hurlbert will also comment on how to maximize the utility of your birding checklists for future scientific endeavors. --------- Charles Eldermire Bird Cams Project Leader Cornell Lab of Ornithology 159 Sapsucker Woods Rd Ithaca, NY 14850 607-254-1131 SkypeID: celdermire -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
