eBird animated occurrence maps
eBird occurrence map from 5 July. Can you guess the species?
We thank you all for your day-to-day checklist contributions that have made this possible. At eBird, every observation has value and it is only through the commitment of our thousands of users across the globe that these animation have become possible. Please remember that eBird is much more than a place to keep your records and track your lists--it is a tool for science and conservation.
Our first batch of occurrence maps (most of them animations) are now available at the 'Occurrence Map' page, along with some analysis of what is going on biologically. We welcome comments at the eBird 'Chip Notes' blog.
If you enjoy quizzes, try to guess this species and then click for the answer.
Support for the development of these maps comes from the Leon Levy Foundation, the Institute of Computational Sustainability at Cornell University, DataONE, Oak Ridge National Laboratory Distributed Active Archive Center (ORNL DAAC), and TeraGrid.
