Hi All,
The next meeting of the Southwest Chapter of the Nova Scotia Bird Society
will be held at the Yarmouth County Museum on January 22 at 7:00 PM. The
guest speaker will be Jake Walker, a researcher in the Biology Department at
Acadia University. The title of his talk is "eBird and Science: How to turn
recreational birding into hard data." Jake will describe the history of
eBird and demonstrate how best to use eBird to create meaningful data. He
will also present several applications of the eBird dataset including some
of his own work in modeling long-term population trends.
Jake is a researcher in the Biology Department at Acadia University in
Wolfville, NS. His current projects include using radar to track movements
of birds near renewable energy developments and using eBird data to model
population trends. Jake received a B.Sc. in Natural Resources from Cornell
University and studied American Woodcock breeding phenology for his M.Sc. at
Trent University. Jake is a lifelong birder, but has only lived in Nova
Scotia since 2014. Previous bird studies have taken him from the bayous of
Mississippi to the Hudson Bay. Jake currently volunteers as one of the eBird
reviewers for Nova Scotia and serves on the board of the Blomidon
Naturalists Society.
