On Saturday, February 18, 2017, Bob Fisher and I did a presentation at the 2017 Wild Things Conference.

Here are the title and abstract:

“3F. New Uses for BCN Transect Data from Chicago Urban Parks
Eric D Gyllenhaal and Bob Fisher, Bird Conservation Network 
BCN transect data from Chicago westside parks reveal how birds use these urban spaces. Using graphs and charts of count and breeding code data, seasonal patterns can be related to park resources. BCN data can inform and educate a wide range of park managers and stakeholders through informal conversations, Facebook groups, park cleanups, park advisory council, neighborhood meetings, and more.”

Here’s a PDF version of our PowerPoint slides: wild-things-session-3f-new-uses-bcn-data-urban-parks
