This FREE-FOR-MEMBERS workshop offers a ground-level beginner’s guide to using eBird mobile on your smartphone. An online orientation (via zoom) will demonstrate how to download the app, set up an account and configure your phone’s settings so you can upload your checklists from the field—anywhere! 

One of three identical on-site guided demonstrations will feature eBird power-users Barry, Carolyn, and Matthew who will guide you step-by-step as you enter your sightings and submit an actual checklist from our headquarters at McClellan Ranch in Cupertino.

Future sessions will describe how eBird can be used to add photos and audio to your checklists, research species and hotspots, plan your birding trips and even generate custom checklists for any area you’re curious about. Stay tuned for these exciting follow-up sessions in the coming months.

NOTE: To use the eBird Mobile app, you must have a smart phone (iPhone or Android) that is wifi equipped. A "data plan" is highly recommended to get the most out of eBird performance.
