MAY MEETING PRESENTATION
Date: May 20, 2025 at 7:00 pm
Location: Rotary Pavilion, Mapleton Park
Presenter: Megan Boucher
“eBird in Action: Empowering Citizen Science through Birdwatching”
What is eBird and why is it important? How can it enhance your birding adventures? What’s the deal with Merlin? How do others use this data, and how is the data verified?
In this presentation, we’ll explore these questions and more. Join us for a journey into the world of eBird – discover how it works, why it matters, and how you can contribute to citizen science. You’ll get tips for submitting accurate checklists and learn how every observation supports real-world research on bird migration, species distribution, and environmental change.
Megan Boucher currently serves as a regional coordinator for the Newfoundland Breeding Bird Atlas, overseeing the Avalon Peninsula region. She has also travelled to remote islands for seabird research, banded a variety of bird species, and has actively participated in a wide range of volunteer efforts, including breeding bird surveys, point counts, marsh monitoring, shorebird counts, owl routes, and more.
