SUMMARY:Birds\, Critters and Flora: eBird and iNaturalist
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a visit to the Nelson Nature Preserve in Friendship to look for breeding birds and survey the flora and fauna. Attendees will function as citizen scientists helping Mid-Coast Audubon document the wildlife and plant life on our preserves. We will be using apps on our smartphones to record data. The group size will be limited to 10 people. \nHalf the group will concentrate on identifying breeding bird behavior and how to use breeding codes on eBird checklists. The other half will identify and document flora and non-bird fauna using iNaturalist. Participants should have both eBird and iNaturalist accounts (free)\, and the apps installed on their smartphone. Here’s how to get started with eBird\, and how to get started with iNaturalist. \nAll are welcome! You don’t need to be an Audubon member (but we hope you are!) or an experienced naturalist. For questions\, or to sign up\, please send an email to midcoastfieldtrips at maineaudubon.org with your name and phone number. We will send out information about parking and carpooling in advance.
