eBird is among the world’s largest biodiversity-related science projects.
eBird allows people to share their bird observations online where they can be used for research, conservation, and for other birders, all over the world and all for free.
In addition to changing the face of birding, eBird data are used by scientists and policy-makers for understanding bird distribution and abundance in ways previously impossible including policy decisions at the federal level. Come learn how eBird is a powerful tool for birders, researchers, and conservationists alike.
