*NY Breeding Bird Atlas Workshop with David Nicosia* Tuesday, February, 25⋅7:00 pm – 9:00 pm Cornell Lab Visitor Center 159 Sapsucker Woods Rd, Ithaca, NY
New York's third Breeding Bird Atlas (NYS BBA III) has begun and will continue for the next 5 years. Cayuga Bird Club is bringing Dave Nicosia, NY Breeding Bird Atlas Area Coordinator, to lead a workshop on how to participate in the atlas effort, using breeding codes and a dedicated eBird portal for data submission. Dave will also discuss atlas block maps, the need to be aware of block boundaries while birding for the Atlas, and resources available for everyone who wants to participate. Whether you are a beginner or advanced birder, participating in the atlas will strengthen your birdwatching skills while contributing valuable data to a statewide conservation project. This workshop will be held in the Fuertes Auditorium of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. You may bring a laptop, tablet or mobile phone (with active eBird account) to the workshop to practice data entry. Contributing to the atlas project without using the eBird mobile app will also be covered. Doors open at 6:45pm. Free and open to the public. - Diane Morton -- 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/ --
