Bird Watching and Community Science Workshops in January and February

The Taos Land Trust has partnered with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology to enhance bird conservation along the Rio Fernando corridor in Taos, New Mexico.

Over the coming year, we will be collecting baseline birding data that will inform public bird habitat restoration demonstration sites with a particular focus on Rio Fernando Park – already a great birding location!  To achieve this goal, we will be working with community members, youth, and avid birders in community science bird data collection by providing workshops in eBird.com use, bird identification, and backyard bird habitat improvement. We will also work to increase public involvement in three annual regional bird counts.

As part of this project, we are hosting a series of four FREE birding workshops. These workshops will introduce you to birdwatching, the species you will see in northern New Mexico, how to participate in citizen science projects such as eBird, and how you can help preserve and restore bird habitat. Local bird enthusiast and retired teacher Robert Templeton will lead all the workshops. Question and answer sessions will follow each workshop. Workshops are FREE and you don’t have to join for all of them to gain valuable birding know-how!

All workshops will take place on Monday afternoons from 4-5pm.
