Day Three is the last day of our meeting. Hope you have been birding safely! Again we offer the following tips for a good birding experience:

• Be safe! - bird at home or somewhere you can practice safe distancing.
• Bird mindfully - review this list of best practices from our friends at eBird.
• Use eBird - your sightings will be added a cumulative list (see below) of all species seen in Kentucky during our meeting.
• Take photos - for documentation, for your records, and to submit for inclusion in our daily photo albums.
• Share your thoughts - add your short birding stories to our comments section.
• Have fun - the most important part of birding!

A cumulative weekend birding list is being assembled from eBird data. Click here to see the most recent update of the Kentucky weekend bird list. The final list will be entered on Monday morning

Good birding to all!

Plirding

Presentation by Freya McGregor

Run time: 9:43

Trash -- especially plastic trash -- can have big consequences for birds: filling up their stomachs, entangling their wings and otherwise being Bad News. "Plirding" (or picking up litter while birding) is an easy thing to incorporate into your regular birding to help make a difference. Join Freya McGregor, Outreach Coordinator for the radio show and podcast Ray Brown's Talkin' Birds, for a quick rundown of different ways you can go plirding, and why this makes a difference to the birds we love. Learn more about plirding and get ideas of ways to do it here.
