Since 1974, we New England shorebirders have been integral to shorebirds data collection with prolific and continuous coverage at some of the most important shorebird stopover locations in our region. Because of the consistent coverage, scientists have been able to tease out some important analyses on a local level. Lisa Schibley will present some results and also talk about how ISS data fits into Manomet’s overall work with shorebirds, some of its interesting history, and how shorebird enthusiasts can contribute data.
