Coal Oil Point Natural Reserve

11 Feb, 10 AM - 11 Feb, 01 PM

My students learn through experiential learning that is grounded in real world, local, phenomena that is immediately tangible to them, like the threatened Snowy Plover. At our local beach, my students will take on the role of field biologists during our kelp wrack survey to study the diet and food web of shorebirds. We will visit a nesting site and use eBird and iNaturalist to participate in citizen science as we observe the birds with the monocular telescopes, take photos, reference our field guides to make positive identifications of all our sightings, just like scientists would. The students will see a variety of bird species they will need to identify. eBird is a public database that provides scientists with real-time data on bird distribution and abundance which can then be used to increase outreach, write proposals, and facilitate decision-making.
