Good Morning Birders~

You may be interested to know that the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Audubon have released a new version of eBird. It's a much more user-friendly incarnation of their Internet-based program. You can use it (free) to record, archive, and share your bird observations at any time. The information you put in is also used for conservation, providing researchers with a comprehensive picture of the abundance and distribution of birds.
There are colorful new interactive maps to play with. It's much easier to input your data and you can set up your personalized My eBirdpages to keep track of your life, state and county lists­all generated automatically as your individual reports are entered. You can search the data by species or location. For example, if you're planning a trip, you can view a list of all the species recorded near your destination. If you want to know more about a specific species, you can view maps and charts showing seasonal distribution and frequency of reports. eBird allows you to do more than just record sightings; it helps you understand how you observations fit into the big picture.
To check it all out, go to ebird.org!
Good birding!
