What birds are here and where can I find them?  Mike Weisensee is one of Sarasota County's top birders so get ready to bust out those smart-phones and take your birding to the next level!  With Mike's help, attendees will learn how to develop lists of “likely” birds in any area of the world, at any time of year AND find out the best places to find those target birds. 

This will be a hands-on workshop.  We will be using both Merlin Bird ID and eBird, FREE apps from Cornell University’s Lab of Ornithology.  Please download these free apps to your smart-phone prior to the event.   Please note that Mike will be using his iPhone for demonstration purposes (Android users beware!).  But never fear! Even the most tech-challenged among us will gain important information and insights to improve your birding this coming season.
