Posted: Aug 26 2015 6:40 pm
For those of you who are bird-watchers/bird identifiers and who live in Phoenix area - -
The McDowell Sonoran Field Institute has set up 5 new ebird hotspots where people can report species they see on McDowell Sonoran Preserve trails. http://ebird.org/cont... E bird is a real-time, online checklist program administered by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
Five eBird hotspots have been designated in MSP:
1. Brown's Ranch Area
2. Gateway Area
3. Granite Mountain Area
4. Lost Dog Area
5. Tom's Thumb Area
When you enter your data on eBird - select the hotspot closest to where you birded - use the comments section to ID the trail you covered.
From the MSFI Bird Principal Investigator Walter Thurber: "Your information will be useful to Preserve managers and visitors, and to a global community of educators, ornithologists and conservation biologists. Any species new to the Preserve bird list should be carefully documented, preferably with a photo, and reported to the Conservancy Office."
