Do you enjoy shorebirds, but could use some help telling your peeps from your plovers?  In August, every eligible checklist that you submit gives you a chance to win free access to the course. We’re excited to partner with the Cornell Lab’s Bird Academy to offer this exciting educational resource, packed with identification tips and techniques for common sandpipers, snipe, and plovers of the US and Canada—just in time for peak shorebirding season!

Ten lucky eBirders will get this course for free from their August eBirding. If you like taking part in the eBirder of the Month Challenges, here are even more excuses to motivate yourself to get out birding. Each month of 2022 will feature a different Bird Academy course offering—tune in at the start of September to see what’s on tap for next month.
