The global tally is currently at 5975—just under the magic 6k mark, and more than 57% of the world’s bird species! 38,915 checklists have been entered by 14,414 eBirders in 140 countries—all in a single day. New species are still rolling in every hour; follow along at GBD headquarters. Please submit any Global Big Day checklists by the end of May 17th—preliminary results will be released on May 18, and we want your sightings to be a part of it. If you’ve already entered your own sightings, check out the list of countries to see submissions from others—if you have a friend whose sightings aren’t represented, encourage them to get them in! Be a part of the biggest day in birding, and help us push past last year’s total of 6,158 for a new world record!
