Program: Learn about Local Community Science Birding Projects
Friday, Nov 3, 2023 | 6:00-7:30 (ish!) pm
Rm 111, Harlan Hall, WNMU
Join us for a program on our outstanding local community science projects.Organizers John Gorey and Linda Moore will cover details and how to get involved with local Christmas Bird Counts (CBCs) as well as the Winter Raptor Survey. Data collected through these projects provide researchers, biologists, and wildlife agencies with valuable information to gauge the health of bird populations and thus inform action. Plus, these are great ways to get outside with fellow bird enthusiasts. Come and find out if these research projects are up your alley!
Harlan Hall is located on 12th Street, between Alabama and Louisiana Streets in Silver City. Access WNMU Campus map here.
Note: This presentation will be available live via Zoom with a recording available afterward on our YouTube channel.
