BIRDER’S WORKSHOP
DEVELOP YOUR BIRD ID & MONITORING SKILLS
September 11, 2004
at
Presque Isle State Park, Stull Interpretive Center
(Erie County, PA)
Sponsored by: Audubon Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania Game Commission, Wild
Resources Conservation Fund, and PA Department of Conservation & Natural
Resources
Why Have A Birder’s Workshop?
Interest in birds continues to grow, and as it does so comes a need for
greater information about bird populations. Many projects require the use
of point counts and other methods that call for highly skilled birders,
both as volunteers and as paid technicians.
To address this growing need, Audubon Pennsylvania, DCNR, and the
Pennsylvania Game Commission are teaming up to offer training on survey
methods and bird identification. This training is geared to adult birders
who already have solid abilities in bird identification, particularly
visual ID.
The workshop will focus on how to do point counts, strategies on counting &
estimating bird numbers, challenging bird ID topics (such as flycatchers,
swallows, shorebirds, etc….), and especially improving birding by ear
skills.
