“eBird: Good for the Birds, Good for You!” will be presented by Ken
Ostermiller. This is a free program at the monthly meeting of the Kirtland
Bird Club (KBC)

eBird, a real-time, online checklist program, can help you keep track of
birds you have seen and show you where other birders have found the birds
you want to see. eBird is a citizen science project of the Cornell Lab of
Ornithology and the National Audubon Society.
Ken Ostermiller is an avid birder who remembers his first bird
identification as a Yellow-shafted Flicker (now a Northern Flicker) in
Michigan when he was 7. He enjoys observing the common birds of an area as
much as seeking rare birds. As a volunteer, he reviews suggestions of bird
reporting hot spots in Ohio for eBird, a free online checklist program
launched in 2002 by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and National Audubon
Society.


All KBC monthly meetings take place at 7:30 pm at the Cleveland Museum of
Natural History (1 Wade Oval Dr, Cleveland) in the downstairs classroom.
Admission is free; parking is free for KBC members (you can join at the
meeting or online at the KBC Web site) so bring your parking ticket in to be
stamped.
