This Thursday at 7 p.m. online we’re in for a great Audubon Society of Central Arkansas meeting with Dr. Jeremy Cohen. Jeremy Cohen is an Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Yale University. His research connects global change biology and avian ecology, using big environmental and ecological datasets (including eBird data) and statistical modeling techniques to understand how birds are responding to extreme and unusual weather events, which have increased greatly in frequency and intensity over the past several decades. In his presentation, he will discuss how eastern North American birds have reacted to heat waves, droughts and a polar vortex and how these responses are predictable based on species’ life history traits. All are welcome, but registration for the Zoom meeting is required: Register Here!
ASCA Meeting March 14: All Things eBird 🗓
Audubon Society of Central Arkansas will be holding its meeting via Zoom. Our topic this month is eBird. eBird has changed the birding landscape, providing a fantastic tool for birdwatchers and ornithologists alike. But how can we get all of what eBird has to offer and be sure that our records provide the best data possible to help understand and save the birds we love? In this presentation, we’ll talk with Taylor Long, a software designer with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Arkansas eBird Reviewer, and Ariana Remmel, a science journalist, Birdnote contributor, and Central Arkansas regional reviewer, about all things eBird. Bring your burning eBird questions and learn how to avoid some of the common mistakes when using the tool. All our welcome to attend but registration is required: Click Here.
