Discover a new world of birding...
Explore birds and hotspots near you and wherever you go, all based on the latest sightings from around the world.
Join the world's largest birding community. Every sighting matters. Contribute yours.
What's your latest life bird? What bird lists do you care about? eBird tallies them for you and archives your photos and sounds—all for free.
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.
This November's eBirder of the Month challenge, sponsored by Carl Zeiss Sports Optics, is all about the free eBird Mobile app. In a twist on our classic one-list-per-day challenge, the eBirder of the Month will be drawn from eBirders who submit 30 or more eligible checklists using eBird Mobile in November.
eBird has many ways to help your birding—and we bet you don't know them all. Whether you're just starting out or have been eBirding for years, we think that our new free eBird Essentials course has at least one tip, trick, or piece of key info that you haven't seen before.
For the past 16 years, eBird has built cutting-edge birding tools. From life lists to sightings maps, and hotspot exploration to millions of photos and audio recordings, we’ve worked to provide the key elements that any birder needs.
