Some of the most valuable eBird data is a simple once-a-week list from your own yard or "patch," a short count with estimated numbers for every species, throughout the year. Coverage more often than weekly is even better! Very easy, and something you are probably doing already anyway.

Bill & all,Your postings today about the current status of our sparrows demonstrates why I love eBird so much and why it is such an important program.The biggest reason I enjoy using eBird is the instant access to tons of data on bird observations and secondly being able to contribute to the database.For those not familiar with eBird I would encourage you to check out www.ebird.org and start submitting checklist. You don't have to go crazy like some of us and submit hundreds of checklist a year (although the data would be nice) even just a weekly checklist or incidental submission would be beneficial. However, I will say this, in my case after you get used to using eBird and submitting checklist it can become addicting! Everyone should use eBird. It's free and it contributes so much to bird conservation and management on multiple levels. To everyone already involved with eBird in TN...Thank you for your time and for using eBird!Stanley York Jr Palmyra/Montgomery Co.
