I've copied and pasted the following message, which was sent out by
the eBird project leaders to regional reviewers.

Yesterday the annual State of the Birds Report was released, which
focused on the importance of public lands in bird conservation. eBird
data was the basis for much of the analysis in the report, and the
utility of eBird for this report is the direct result of all your hard
work.

You can read and download the entire report including the methods at
the link below:

Also in the report was the following "Thank You to eBird Volunteers"

Our understanding of bird distributions has greatly improved thanks to
the thousands of bird watchers who have contributed observations to
eBird (www.eBird.org). This effort is especially important for
tracking seasonal and fine-scale changes in bird distributions, which
is not possible with other bird-monitoring programs. However, even
this massive observation network provides only imperfect information
for assessing the year-round status of birds on many remote public
lands across the U.S., including Alaska, Hawaii, and island
territories. We urge birders to submit more observations to eBird from
public refuges, parks, forests, and wilderness areas. We also urge
agencies to support the submission of current and historical records
to eBird and other data archives.

From everyone at Team eBird, thanks for all your efforts!
