On 6 October, more than 17,000 birders around the world went birding together for the first October Big Day. Reporting from 146 countries, they tallied 6,136 species of birds: more than half of the world's birds in a single day.
Do you enjoy watching your feeders, but have trouble with some of the finches and sparrows? We’re excited to partner with the Cornell Lab’s Bird Academy to offer a suite of exciting educational resources in thanks for your eBirding: in October, every eligible checklist that you submit gives you a chance to get free access to Feeder Birds: Identification and Behavior.
The eBird taxonomy update is COMPLETE. We do this update once each year, taking into account the past 12 months worth of recent taxonomic knowledge on splits, lumps, name changes, and changes in the sequence of the species lists.
