Apologies for the short notice, but there will be a TERN training this Saturday in Rockport! This is a free
class, open to the public to learn more about herons, egrets, spoonbills, ibis,
and many other bird species.
The Coastal Program launched the T.E.R.N. citizen science
program to collect valuable data on colonial waterbird species (herons, egrets,
spoonbills, terns, ibis, and skimmers). This workshop will introduce the
T.E.R.N program, discuss the value of data collection to scientists, provide an
overview of the waterbird species and feeding behaviors, and teach participants
how to conduct monitoring and fill out survey sheets. After the conclusion
of the presentation, there will be time to head outside and practice filling
out data sheets.
Saturday, November 14th in Rockport, 9am-12pm
Hampton Inn and Suites, 3677 Highway 35 North, Rockport, TX 78382
Time: 9am to 12:00pm
Limit: 25 participants per day
