Did you know that you can contribute to citizen science projects by submitting your observations of birds and other wildlife to online databases?
Programs like eBird and iNaturalist allow this contribution while also providing a convenient way to track what you have seen. Tanner Shepard will give an overview of these programs, walk you through the process of submitting your data, and provide guidelines to ensure you use them appropriately. Questions will be encouraged at any point during the talk so that you leave feeling confident and prepared to submit your wildlife observations!
