Meet at the Reveille restaurant in Fort Worden and gather to sort out a few basic points of how to “eBird”. eBird is a user-friendly smart phone application that connects your bird watching to real citizen science across the globe. Participants will need binoculars, a smart phone, and eBird downloaded onto their phones. We will get started with basic use and some shortcuts while drinking coffee or tea, then we will walk from Fort Worden Commons to Battery Hill and back entering all of our findings into eBird. This is the first in a series of three introductory eBird field trips highlighting different areas.  Future trips (with different coffee shops) include Kah Tai in February, and Point Hudson in March. These trips require pre-registration and are limited to ten people, Questions on how to download eBird can be answered by email or phone.
