The Baltimore Bird Club invites everyone to join us in the dedication of an eBird Trail Tracker kiosk in the Visitor Center at Cylburn Arboretum, a Baltimore City Park.  This is the first Trail Tracker in Maryland.  After the dedication ceremony, Bill Hubick will present a symposium on Birding in the Digital Age......about all the new electronic tools in a birder's kit.......and with special focus on eBird.   The whole day will be filled with great birding activities - from bird walks on the grounds, presentations on landscaping with native plants to attract and sustain birds,  a mini-Big Sit, art and bird feeder building for kids, and a chance to meet a representative of the other Bird Club in town - The Bird, the Oriole mascot.  Les Eastman and Georgia McDonald will talk about hummingbirds and Irma Weinstein will introduce you to the birds and butterflies that pass through Cylburn.  Learn more about the BBC's Lights Out Baltimore project and the
 devastation to birds caused by glass strikes and what you can do about it.  There'll also be activities for youth birders......including a pre-event for youth on Saturday.  It's all free - except for the beef barbeque (how could we cook birds?).  Check out the BBC website for more information at http://baltimorebirdclub.org/.  Here's a link to the schedule of events on Sunday  http://baltimorebirdclub.org/cylburn-for-birds-handout.pdf   For more information about the Trail Tracker and eBird check out this great article in this week's Baltimore City Paper. http://citypaper.com/news/counting-crows-1.1137707
