SUMMARY:(Monthly Club Meeting)  Let’s (Try to) Count all the Birds in Pennsylvania!
DESCRIPTION:Note new meeting location at the North Museum!\nPennsylvania’s Bird Atlas (PBA3) is a statewide inventory of birds breeding and overwintering in the state. \nThe PBA3 will refine our knowledge of the current distribution\, relative abundance\, and timing of breeding for all the breeding birds of PA – information that is critical for prioritizing conservation needs. Learn how you can contribute to the PBA3 in this talk presented by Amber Wiewel\, the Third Pennsylvania Bird Atlas Coordinator. \nAmber grew up in Missouri where she first fell in love with birds in the Ozarks. She received a bachelor’s degree from the University of Missouri and a master’s degree from Iowa State University\, and then went on to work as a research wildlife biologist with USGS’s Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative and Pennsylvania State University before joining the Pennsylvania Bird Atlas team as Atlas Coordinator.
