Yale Club of Pittsburgh

New Light Congregation is hosting an online event on Feb. 6 featuring Composer and Yale Alumnus Josh Ehrlich. Admission is free.

The Cornell Club of Pittsburgh has invited the YCOP to join them in testing out a very interesting new bird watching app. For Cornell Cares Day 2021, the Cornell Club of Pittsburgh is partnering with Cornell's world-renowned Lab of Ornithology. The Lab has recently launched the Merlin Bird ID App, a smartphone application featuring a "bird ID wizard" that asks a few basic questions to help identify birds that you observe, and can also identify a bird based on photographs you ...take of birds. The app is based on and connected to the "eBird" citizen-science project database. The eBird project collects information submitted by birdwatchers of all experience levels, archives the information, and freely shares it to power data-driven approaches to science, conservation, and education. Submitted bird sightings contribute to peer-reviewed papers, student projects, and conservation decisions, as well as providing information for bird research worldwide. The Lab of Ornithology needs volunteers to simply use the app; such use will help train the app. Also, the Lab would appreciate feedback on any issues encountered when using the app. For this event, you will need to download the free Merlin Bird ID App (which is available in both the Apple and Google Play stores). Please bird watch and use the app for at least an hour. You can bird watch at any location--a park, a trail, or your backyard. We just ask that you social distance and otherwise keep yourself safe as you are looking for and watching birds
