Mark is asking that everyone who wishes to go on a field trip with him to have an eBird account. It is free, easy, and serves a highly important role in global citizen science. EBird data is critical for countless research projects that impact conservation and funding policies around the world. The website also has amazing resources that can help you become a better and more responsible birder.
Follow the simple directions below. Your registration requires your eBird user name on the form.
To Create an eBird account.
a. Go to https://ebird.org/home
b. Click '’Create account' and fill out the information requested
c. Start exploring eBird!
Description:
We’ll watch as the sun sets and birds of prey species change from the diurnal to the nocturnal. There’s a steep, short incline at the start, then the terrain turns to rolling hills and easy trails. Rodent central, this area is frequented by harriers, falcons and kites during the day, then possible Short-Eared Owls and Great Horned Owls at dusk.
This trail is rated “moderate”, steep in some places and has been slippery due to rains. It will be dark on the return hike. Please keep this in mind when you register.
ADA Accessible: No
Experience Level: Intermediate and Advanced Birders
