This Thursday (June 7th) I'll be giving an eBird talk at the Scioto-Audubon center in Columbus. I'll cover (1) contributing your bird observations to the eBird database; (2) using the ebird website's interactive data exploration tools for planning trips, developing educational resources, etc.; and (3) keeping track of personal lists. I’ll be giving a similar talk on Monday, June 11th at the East Central Ohio Audubon Chapter’s annual meeting (potluck at 6pm, talk begins at 7pm) at the College Town House on Broadway in Granville, OH. Members, friends, and the public are all welcome.
