The Christmas Count is the largest and longest-running ornithological citizen science project. Its data are a great complement to what we are collecting in eBird, and indeed the CBC has paved the way for eBird in many respects. It is not a problem to enter data in eBird and then submit it for the CBC too, since the two projects are collecting data in similar ways, but at different scales. eBird can be a great way to store your sector-level data and compare it from year to year.

The new version makes eBird data entry easier, and provides powerful new tools and features for using eBird's vast database. Check it out today! The following article was originally published at www.ebird.org on October 7th, 2011: In the Fall of 2005 we launched eBird Version 2. Major changes to the site at that time included the addition of the 'My eBird' pages, and a redesigned 'look and feel'. We've come a long way since then! eBird Version 3 incorporates many of your ideas, and we're proud of the improvements we've made over the last few years. Your feedback has enabled us to launch eBird globally, helped us create a better and more streamlined data entry system, helped develop the fun side of birding through tools like the 'eBird Top 100', and helped us build better mapping tools that allow you to access the database in a better and more comprehensive manner. We appreciate all your participation, dedication, and support over the years, and we're happy to announce the official launch of eBird Version 3.

This year’s report follows the 2009 State of the Birds Report and the 2010 State of the Birds Report on Climate Change. All three reports were developed through the American Bird Conservation Initiative U.S. Committee, with support from many state and federal agencies and non-governmental organizations. In 2011 local NGO Klamath Bird Observatory again played a key role in the development of the report, with KBO Executive Director John Alexander serving as a member of the Science Team that authored the report. eBirders were valuable contributors to the report, providing citizen science data on the abundance and distribution of hundreds of bird species. These data fed into models that predict the occurrence of these species across nearly 850 million acres of public land. To view the 2011 State of the Birds Report, visit www.stateofthebirds.org.

Field trips and other observations throughout the Festival recorded a total of 113 species and hundreds of thousands of individual birds. Previous species totals were 82 in 2009 and 93 in 2010. The higher species count and the overall increase in the number of birds reported was due to the dedicated efforts of the Festival coordinators, Klamath Bird Observatory staff, and a terrific crew of field trip leaders and assistants.
