Description
Join Bird Alliance of Oregon’s Tara Lemezis on Friday, or High Desert Partnership’s Melissa Petschauer on Saturday, for this largely field-based workshop. We’ll spend about 15-minutes before the tour going over what eBird is and how to use it not only as a tool for tracking your bird sightings but how you can use it to contribute to community science. After this brief introduction to eBird, we’ll head into the field to collect eBird sightings for Project IBiS (Inventorying Birds in the Silvies Floodplain). This field opportunity will not only contribute to important data about bird use of the floodplain and how bird use relates to Harney Basin Wetlands Collaborative projects, but will give you firsthand experience with using the eBird app. VAN-GUIDED + CARAVAN TOUR (5 people ride with us + 5 cars caravan behind).
$45 / person, Friday, April 17, 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. (VAN GUIDED + CARAVAN) , and Saturday, April 18, 12 to 3 p.m. (CARAVAN only) | 10ish spots available per tour | Departs from: Geno’s Youth Center – 135 E Washington St., Burns, OR, 97720
