I am finally beginning to get accustomed to using eBird. I am finding that the data entry screens are extremely easy to navigate and typing is kept to a minimum. I can generate a bird sighting list for a location faster using eBird than I could with paper and pencil. The reports produced for personal list management are extremely useful for listers. The data generated for science is invaluable.
Exploring data submitted from Larimer County during the last 5 years, I can see that Herring Gulls have begun to arrive 1-2 weeks earlier than usual this year. State-wide historical data indicates that Cackling Goose and Tundra Swan are late arriving this year. These are just a few quick examples of how to use the incredibly robust information resource that eBird has become, a tiny tip to a gargantuan iceberg of birding information! Congratulations to Colorado’s home-grown Chris Wood, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and all the other people and institutions that have made eBird a reality.
