Please join us in congratulating Bob Walker of Los Alamos, New Mexico, winner of the September 2019 eBird Challenge, sponsored by Carl Zeiss Sports Optics. Bob’s name was drawn randomly from 2,008 eBirders who submitted at least 20 eligible eBird checklists with eBird Mobile ‘tracks’ less than 5km (3 mi) in September.
The 2019 eBird taxonomy update is COMPLETE. At this stage, all major taxonomic changes should be complete.
On 4 May, 32,500 people ventured outside in 171 countries, finding 6,816 species: 2/3rds of the world's bird species in a single day. This is a new world record for the number of people birding on a single day.
