Tracking your lists with eBird


My eBird lists. Every eBird checklist you add is automatically tallied on all your applicable lists. Life, year, county, yard, patch—you name it, we update it for you. All you have to worry about is birding! My eBird can also show you every time you’ve seen a species, making it easy to take a trip down memory lane.


eBird profile pages map your lists automatically. If you have a country or state that’s most interesting to you, zoom in to see how your states or counties compare. View the map based on your species, lists, photos, or audio—whatever you prefer!


Target species. If finding new birds is what motivates you, then Target Species is the tool you’ve always been looking for. Enter a region and a time of year, and eBird tells you the most likely new birds you can find—whether for a life list, year list, country list, county list, or more. Full maps of every sighting of each species in eBird are a click away.

eBird alerts. Get hourly or daily emails as soon as reports are submitted. Customize them for rare bird news or the species that you ‘need’ based on the information that you already have in eBird. No more missing that potential life bird just down the road.


eBird Top 100 lets you see how your lists compare to those of your friends and other birders around the world. Not into chasing lots of new species? Try your hand at the Top 100 checklist stats! Warning: things may never be the same. If this isn’t your cup of tea, you can always opt out of the Top 100 in your eBird Preferences.
