Audubon group to hear about eBird

The Black River Audubon Society will present Ken Ostermiller and his program “Getting the Most from eBird” at 7 p.m., Oct. 5, via Zoom.

Ostermiller will provide an introduction to the eBird website and tips for using it so people can view their records, find birds nearby they are interested in seeing, and plan where to go birding when they travel, according to a news release.

Birders who use eBird are invited to bring their questions about how to use the tool most effectively.

Ostermiller works as a volunteer with the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, reviewing hotspots in Ohio for the eBird website.

He created and maintains, in cooperation with the Ohio Ornithological Society, a website, Birding in Ohio, that describes over 4,000 birding locations in the state.

This program is free to the public. For this and future Zoom meetings, go to blackriveraudubon.org and register at the bottom of the first page under Subscribe. A Zoom link will be sent out.
