Citizen Science: Introduction to eBird
Steve Zehner, a local
central Illinois
eBird user, hosted a Zoom virtual
meeting with us on becoming citizen scientists with eBird in September
2020. Steve showed how to use use eBird to plan a trip to local
hotspots, record and share bird observations, attach pictures and other
media, create lists by location, and set up alerts for birds of
interest.
Steve graciously shared his PowerPoint slides and, along with the
participants, allowed the virtual meeting to be recorded. Click
