It can be used on a pc, tablet, android or smartphone and by people at all levels of "computer literacy" and all levels of birding experience. With it you can

Explore latest sightings from around the world

Contribute to science and conservation

Jacob Crawford of Green Mountain Audubon and Dean Leary of Rokeby Museum will introduce you to eBird and show how this easy to use program can help you, and how you can help science. All you need is a well charged electronic device. Cell service makes it easier to use outside, but isn't necessary. Bring a pair of binoculars if you like. The workshop will take place Saturday, September 24 from 9 am to 10:30 am at Rokeby at 4334 Route 7, Ferrisburgh. You can practice using eBird and/or Merlin on the Sunday September 25 tour of the Ferrisburgh Town Forest with Jen Cirillo of the Ferrisburgh Conservation Commission.
