SUMMARY:eBird: An Introduction
DESCRIPTION:eBird: An Introduction\nwith Shane Myers \nThursday\, February 12  |  10 – 12 pm \nBRN – Elective \nREGISTER HERE \nAre you a birder? Do you want to be? Do you like to maintain careful lists of what birds you’ve seen\, when\, and where? Do you want to contribute to real science that is used in real-life decisions? Do you want to know what birds are being seen around you or your favorite places? In this class\, we’ll look at eBird and Merlin and talk about how to use them to their fullest potential. \nThis program will take place outside and will follow easy trails and paved walkways. Dress for the weather and prepare to be outside for the entire program time. \nShane Myers’ interest in nature began as a child with a love of dinosaurs. This quickly grew to include fossils\, insects\, and reptiles\, and learning from the notes his grandparents kept of the birds that came to their feeders in Toledo\, Ohio.  He has a Bachelors of Science in Wildlife Biology and did most of his undergraduate work on dragonflies and damselflies. This work included coordinating an Ohio- wide survey of dragonflies that culminated in a publication in 2024. He’s assisted in outreach and education for plant conservation groups\, Odonata Groups\, and various bird groups. Shane currently works for the Adult Education department at the NC Arboretum. \n\nMembers: Remember to enter your promo code upon checkout to receive your 10% member discount!
