Have you been looking to find a hands-on way to build upon your skills as a birder? Learn how and why we benefit bird conservation by using available apps. Holly Merker will focus on understanding and maximizing the benefits of the most popular apps, eBird, Merlin, and iNaturalist to enhance participants’ skills as birders. The program will begin indoors, then will shift outside for hands-on instruction on how to use the apps while enriching your knowledge and understanding of the birds and natural world around you.
Presenter Holly Merker is this year’s keynote speaker and has been a birding instructor for National Audubon, Red Knot Outfitters Birding Guides, and the American Birding Association. She also serves as the Pennsylvania State Coordinator for Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s eBird.org, and is a global advocate for the practice of Mindful Birding.
