eBird Tips and Tricks: Carpinteria Birdwatchers meeting for Thursday, May 28

Posted May 25th, 2020 by John Callender

For this week’s Carpinteria Birdwatchers online meeting we’ll return to a subject we’ve done in the past: eBird Tips and Tricks. How to use eBird to research species and locations, how to sign up for your own free eBird account, and how to enter your own checklists.
