Sheryl,
It’s pretty easy to use and you don’t need a tutorial. I did attend the webinar
but left early. After showing some examples of trip reports, the rest was
about ebird basics. You just put in your dates, future or past, and add a
narrative if you want to. It creates the report from your existing ebird lists.
If it’s a future date it creates the report as you submit your ebird lists.
Martha,
You are allowed to crest a narrative of your trip. You can put anything in
there that you want. That shows up on the left of the report. The button at the
top of the list that says ‘species with photos’ allows you to see all the
photos. Clicking on a photo enlarges it and shows the media notes (comments
about the bird in the photo) that you provided when you uploaded to the list.
Another use that trip leaders might like - you can create a monthly report of
all the birds you have seen at any location. For example, all the birds seen at
Brookshire Park during the weekly bird walks. The limitation to doing this is
that there is a 31 day limit on any one trip report.
To see examples of other trip reports that are better than the on I did go here

At last nights zoom meeting we discussed using eBirds new Trip Reporting
feature to share HCAS birding trips, CBC, member’s trips, etc. I created a
simple trip report from a recent trip Jim & I took to give you an example of
what the reports look like. The trips can be shared this way by sending a
link via email. There is also an option to send them to Facebook.
