SUMMARY:Advanced Birding Series: Creating a Checklist: Dos and Don’ts with Alex Patia
DESCRIPTION:Advanced Birding Series: Creating a Checklist: Dos and Don’ts with Alex Patia\nSunday December 14th, 8-10 am\n$35/member, $50/non-member.\nTrip difficulty: Easy. Walking distance: About 1.3 miles. Trip Duration: 2-2.5 hours. Elevation gain: None. Ground condition: Groomed gravel trails. Drinking water and restrooms available at the park’s entrance. Benches are available at periodic intervals around the wetlands.\nIn December a wide diversity of wintering birds are present at Sweetwater, particularly large flocks of waterfowl, doves, and blackbirds. Trying to pick through and document all of these birds in a checklist can be a daunting challenge! In this workshop we will practice how to get a quick count of large bird flocks, how to document rare and unusual species, and other best practices for putting together an eBird checklist. This workshop will be a great learning opportunity for experienced and newer birders alike and just before our annual Christmas Bird Count on December 16th!\nLimited to 12 participants. Sweetwater Wetlands is located at 2511 W Sweetwater Dr.\nLeader: Alex Patia\nHeader image: White-crowned Sparrow by Tom Brown\n
