*Ninety Years of Birding, 10 Years Ahead: DFO in the eBird Story*
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd2aMrLH69mjpTQAl0auP5wNa2W1bhkjBOySwHL10kEYPSn-w/viewform> Long before he collaborated in the creation of eBird, the global database
and birding phenomenon, Chris Wood was a self-described bird nerd growing
up in the Denver suburbs. In the late 1980s, seventh-grader Wood joined
Denver Field Ornithologists to go on field trips and expand his
precociously prodigious grasp of the world of Colorado birds.
Today, Wood is director of eBird and a prominent member of the Cornell Lab
of Ornithology team at Cornell University in New York state. He is also
managing director of the lab’s Center for Avian Population Studies.
As the most noteworthy alumnus of DFO in the birding world today, he will
speak at a special in-person monthly evening program meeting to celebrate
our club’s 90th anniversary.
Don’t miss this extraordinary program as we make our return to the
face-to-face fellowship that marked the club’s original gatherings starting
90 years ago.
