Here's a note and some information from September's guest speaker Graham Sorenson:
"Thanks again for a great evening yesterday ... it was a great crowd to present to. I really enjoyed getting so many interested questions. I wanted to send along some links to different information that I mentioned during the talk in case anyone wanted to know more.
- Subscribe to monthly eNews from Bird Studies Canada – updates on projects, new findings, and birds across Canada.

- Use eBird to document species you see, while kayaking, walking, or sitting on your porch.
- Document birds and other species with iNaturalist, and get help with identification just by uploading a photo (the program can provide automated suggestions, other users on the site can also suggest IDs).
