eBird: Where Birding, Science and Conservation Meet with Chris Wood You’ve probably been hearing a lot about eBird (_www.ebird.org_ (http://www.ebird.org/) ) lately, the website and online birding tool that is changing the face of modern birding. eBird is an internet-based checklist program built for birders by birders, whose goal is to harness the power of both birding and science. It allows you to keep track of your bird records online and share them with the birding community, while making them available for science and conservation efforts. eBird allows birders to post sightings, keep life lists, and manage their personal records. This workshop will teach you what eBird is and why it’s important that you contribute, show you what it can do for you as a birder, and teach you how to get started. Best of all, this talk will show how birder’s observations are being used by the research and conservation communities. Join eBird Project Leader Chris Wood for a look at this remarkable tool, and get empowered to make your observations count! 6:30 PM at the Litchfield Villa (Program will start at 7.)
