Advancing science and conservation
Your sightings contribute to hundreds of conservation decisions and peer-reviewed papers, thousands of student projects, and help inform bird research worldwide.
Right now we have 5 open positions on the broader eBird, Macaulay Library, and Information Science teams at the Cornell Lab. Whether you have technical expertise, or are more on the birding/project management/marketing side of things, we have something for you!
Global Big Day 2018 set a new world record for birding, reporting 2/3rds of the world's birds in one day: more species on 5 May than any person has ever seen in an entire year. Colombia alone noted 15% of the world's avian diversity in 24 hours.
eBird and the Macaulay Library have a fun new tool: the eBird photo + sound quiz. Warning: your spare time may never be the same.
