Baton Rouge Audubon's October program will be an overview of the Merlin and eBird apps. Jane Patterson will be presenting at the main Goodwood library in Baton Rouge. We'll have social (half) hour at 6:30pm and the program will start at 7pm. If you wish to participate via Zoom, please register in advance:
This program is designed for beginners and folks that have tried to use the apps and been frustrated by something. It's best if you have a basic familiarity with Merlin and eBird prior to the program so you know what questions you'd like to ask. Both the Merlin and eBird apps are free from Cornell, but you do have to create an account with Cornell. After installing the app, you will also install a "bird pack" that is appropriate to our area (Louisiana or Southeast United States). It's also suggested that you review the eBird Essentials course for a tutorial before this program.
