In this course we will do the following:
• Learn about iNaturalist as a user friendly record keeping program to track nature observations worldwide.
• Bill will review some of his over 1,000 entries, and show how the AI aspect of iNaturalist can be used to help identify a species from a photograph
• Class members will be encouraged to establish an iNaturalist account, photograph some specimens of their favorite wildlife (animals or plants), and upload the photos to their iNaturalist account.
• Class members should have a means of logging onto the Internet while at class. OLLI has some class-available Laptops & i-Pads.
• It is tentatively planned during the course to take at least one field trip to photograph wildlife. A cell phone camera will suffice for taking wildlife photos.
Want a preview of Bill's iNaturalist account, go here (probably have to copy and paste): https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/bill6711
I suspect in some ways..... mentally, physically, or both, we are all Wandering Albatrosses :)
