World Migratory Bird Day: The Role of Community Science
Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
Join us to learn about how community science impacts our understanding of bird migration. This presentation about online tools including eBird and iNaturalist will emphasize the strength in the data we can all contribute to. Participants will have a chance to investigate different bird species migration patterns via these community science websites and we will then go for a short bird walk to highlight some of the species we learn about.
This event is recommended for adults and teenagers but if you have a younger member of the family that is curious about birds, feel free to bring them along as well!
