Birding Essentials: An Intro to eBird, Merlin, Bird Calls, and Local Birding Hotspots

Bird watching is a wonderful hobby that lets you enjoy the beauty of flying friends. It can, however, be challenging for both beginners and experienced birders. In this program, you will learn to use Merlin to identify birds by their sounds and explore local species through eBird. The instructor will share ways to recognize bird calls and improve your listening skills. We will then discuss bird migration patterns and find the local birding hotspots of the season. If the weather permits, we can step outside to apply what we learn immediately.
