We'll have demonstrations of how eBird and iNaturalist data may be downloaded and transformed into graphical visualizations.

Araminta “Minty” Ross, better known as Harriet "Moses" Tubman, was born in Dorchester County, Maryland. She was known to use bird calls to help guide enslaved persons to freedom along the route of the Underground Railroad. An expert birder and naturalist, many of the birds Harriet Tubman mimicked are still thriving in Dorchester County.

Our friends at Delmarva Birding Tours will guide us as we navigate the same pathways Harriet Tubman used to save 70 people. We'll no doubt encounter some of the same species that helped this hero lead the way.
