Looking to learn and find more species in the Waterloo Region? Come and join us for an introduction to two free apps\, eBird and Merlin. You will need a smartphone with data to access the functions on these two apps. We will show you the basic functions of how these apps can also work together. After a demonstration\, we will walk around Huron Natural Area to test out the sound recognition on Merlin and log findings on eBird. You do not need any prior experience with birding or using these apps. We expect to see birds of all varieties – songbirds\, herons\, woodpeckers\, ducks\, and geese.  Difficulty: Light to moderate – there are sections of flat boardwalk and most of the trails are groomed but we will also be taking dirt trails with uneven surfaces and hilly portions. We will be walking at a slow to moderate pace and will be standing for short periods of time to gather data. Washrooms: are available at the parking lot (ground level). 								\n				\n												\n																					Mallards\n										\n									\n				\n												\n																					Great Blue Heron\n										\n									\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n									What to Bring: Water\, cellphone with data access\, binoculars (optional)\, and comfortable hiking shoes.
