Introducing... The Birding Co-op Aug 27, 2020

Show notes

Hannah and Erik have spent the last few months working on a secret project with a handful of other young birders whose goals are to offer affordable travel experiences, benefit communities and non-profit partners, and build a supportive, inclusive community.
This episode is a bit different than all of our other episodes... we did not go on an adventure or talk specifically about birds with anyone. What we did do is chat with The Birding Co-op planning committee to discuss this brand new, non-profit organization seeking to change the way we look at birding travel and the birding community.

Awww the ocean. Cool sea breezes, the sticky salt spray, and oodles of birds. Hannah and Erik went on another pelagic - this time out of Westport, WA - to see what is out there. Not only did they have a phenomenal time with the crew, they were also able to see 4 lifers!

Alison Young, "The City Nature Challenge Communicator" Mar 25, 2020

Show notes

The first-ever Citizen Science Day was held in 2016 and the citizen science teams at Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County and California Academy of Sciences dreamed up a fun way to capitalize on their home cities’ friendly rivalry and hold a citizen science event around urban biodiversity. That was the first City Nature Challenge, a friendly competition between Los Angeles and San Francisco, engaging residents and visitors in documenting nature to better understand urban biodiversity.
Listen in as Alison tells us why and how you can participate.
