Class: Using eBird with Brendan McGarry - Session #1

2-week online course (April 19 & 26)

Does eBirding make you a better birder? Possibly. Will eBird help you record your sightings while also supporting research efforts across the globe? Undoubtedly. If you've ever felt intimidated or unsure where to start with using eBird, this is the class for you. Brendan will teach you the basics of how to record, share, and manage your lists while using eBird as a tool to learn new regional birds and prepare for upcoming departures near and far. Between sessions participants will have an opportunity to practice using eBird with a goal of getting help and feedback from Brendan in the second session.

Brendan McGarry has been studying birds for the majority of this life. He has a BS in Biology from The Evergreen State College and a Master's in Environmental Education from Western Washington University. He has worked as a naturalist guide, a bird biologist, and an environmental educator for nearly two decades. He is excited about integrating community science and ecological awareness into people's birding practices.

Class will be conducted over Zoom (and recorded if you cannot make the live session)
