Important Updates Starting in 2024!
The BCN eBird Portal is being replaced with a BCN Survey-specific Protocol
Starting with the 2024 breeding season, BCN Survey monitors will no longer enter their data through eBird.org/BCN or by selecting the BCN eBird Portal in the eBird app.
Instead, simply visit eBird.org or use the eBird app as normal to enter sightings, but when entering sightings from your BCN Survey points, there will be a new "Observation Type" (aka Protocol) instead of "Stationary" that is called "BCN Survey Point Count." Simply select this protocol/observation type, and your data will be correctly assigned to the BCN Survey.
Any data collected outside of your point counts can be entered in the general eBird portal, but keep an eye out for additional changes coming within the next year or so.
See the BCN Survey Point Counts page for a refresher on the point count protocol requirements and recommendations for conducting your surveys.
If you have questions or need assistance, please contact your county coordinator or email us at bcnsurvey@gmail.com.
