My suggestion to some panelists is to use headphones with a microphone for virtual conferences.). Was there confusion that impacted data collection or research or birding? (This suggestion for the committee is not a criticism of the panelists, who were generally quite good. Is ornithology more inclusive? Did the process work?)

But that changed last weekend at the Chicago Ornithological Society’s 10th biennial Birding America conference. The talk described eBird’s origins in 2002 and traced its history as a project aimed at using “citizen science” to help researchers and conservationists learn more about birds. And at least on me, it worked.

Another observation is that researchers are generous with their time and respond to inquiries about their research, even by birding bloggers. Bird researchers are good people!
