Bird identification made easy - with apps!
Event type:
Seminar with excursion Content: The use of apps has long been justified in the identification of bird species in the field. Learning bird calls and visual recognition can be made easier with some apps. During the excursion, we will look for bird species in the Pöllau Valley Nature Park and discuss their identification features. At the same time, we will test a few selected bird identification apps and talk about their possibilities and limitations. Participants are asked to bring their smartphones and actively participate. At the beginning we will download free apps, which we will test in the course of the excursion (all apps can of course be uninstalled afterwards).
Aim:
The aim is for participants to have an overview of the possibilities and limitations of free bird identification apps after the event and to know how to use the apps.
Requirements:
Weatherproof clothing and sturdy shoes, smartphone
