Join AAS President Kathleen Carr and Rob Williams to learn more about a birder’s two most important technological tools – eBird and Merlin Bird ID.  eBird is a global citizen science database that allows users to log their bird lists, explore hotspots, and much more. Merlin Bird ID has great photo and sound identifiers that are >90% accurate, helping birders of any level in the field! The loop around the park is 3.5 miles and is fairly flat most of the way. Please have eBird and Merlin Bird ID mobile apps downloaded before you arrive for the field trip. You have to make an account with eBird online using your email address. Please bring binoculars, a camera if you’d like, water, sunscreen, and snacks. If you would like to borrow binoculars, let us know in advance and we will provide loaners. We will meet at 8 AM at the parking lot and be finished ~ 11:30 or 12.

Our field trips are currently limited to 10 people. To sign up, please email levy.heather789@gmail.com . Details and meet-up times will be provided once you have registered.

If you have reserved a spot and are unable to attend the outing for any reason, please let us know as soon as possible so others have a chance to attend. Thanks!
