NO FEE TO ATTEND!

The first of a three part series of eBird workshops to be held at the Jacksonville Zoo & Gardens educational facility. Kevin Dailey, the ebird reviewer for Duval, Nassau and Volusia counties, will conduct the workshops.

Kevin will introduce eBird's background, scope, and impact on conservation by sharing a couple of real-world examples of how the data has been used for various efforts, including local success stories right here in our community. He will then walk you through how to manage your account, create checklists, select and create locations, how to record and document species, and submit your observations. The presentation will focus on the web version of the eBird software, as understanding the web version is foundational to using the mobile app in the field. There will be plenty of time for questions and answers after the presentation.

Each of the workshops will be followed up with practical, hands-on use in the field during a guided bird walk. The first field trip will be at the University of North Florida's Robert W. Loftin nature trails on Saturday, September 19th beginning at 8AM.
