SUMMARY:How Your eBirding Helps Birds (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Birds capture the human spirit\, imagination\, and passion in a way that few other organisms do. They also serve as the most accessible and sensitive indicator of ecosystem health and climate change. Never before have we had as great an opportunity to bring together people from around the world to monitor and understand our natural world — simply by watching birds. Already\, nearly 1 million people around the world have taken part in reporting observations to eBird. Using advanced techniques at the interface of computer science and statistics\, we now have unprecedented insights into the distribution\, abundance\, and population trends of birds on a global and local scale. This data has the power to greatly inform conservation.  Alli Smith\, the Merlin Program Coordinator at the Lab\, will explain how this data is being used to help birds around the world. This program is co-sponsored by Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy and the Loudoun County Public Library. Access will be through the library website calendar. \nQuestions: Contact info@loudounwildlife.org.
