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.
Right now we have 4 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.
