New Location Management Tools Launched!
When eBird started in 2002 we didn't have the technology to allow you to select a location from a map for data entry (we do now--hooray!). Because of that it was harder to be aware of existing eBird hotspots, and many users created their own versions of these places. We've been asked for a long time to rectify this by creating tools that will allow you to merge your personal locations, and all associated data, with existing eBird hotspots. We've recently upgraded the "Manage My Locations" option found under "My eBird" to allow for this, along with a suite of other useful data management tools. Now you can easily combine your data from a duplicate personal location with eBird hotspots so that it can be shared by all.
Make Your Checklists More Meaningful!
As the eBird database grows by leaps and bounds, it is becoming ever more valuable. Your observations are making a huge difference in our understanding of birds at many levels. Our scientists are now analyzing your data to find new patterns in bird distribution, abundance and population trends. Only observations with effort can be used in these analyses, so we would like to promote several bird survey techniques that we consider most valuable in this regard. Make the most of your birding by conducting traveling counts, stationary counts and area counts in a more meaningful way. In this feature we'll give examples of how to make your observations count for bird conservation!

Download Vermont eBird Data at the Avian Knowledge Network
The Avian Knowledge Network (AKN) is an international organization of government and non-government institutions focused on understanding the patterns and dynamics of bird populations across the Western Hemisphere. Since AKN was launched in 2004 it has grown by leaps and bounds. With nearly 40 million bird observations in its database from 41 partner organizations spanning the Western Hemisphere, its scope and importance has increased exponentially in recent years.
