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.
The Western Asio Flammeus Landscape Study (WAfLS) is currently seeking volunteers to help complete an eight-state citizen science project designed to gather information to better evaluate the population status of the Short-eared Owl. Such information is needed by conservation practitioners who want to design management actions to help reverse the Short-eared Owl population decline.
This month we are excited to announce a huge advance in the understanding of birds, only made possible with eBird data. The bird observations submitted by you and many others contribute to these exciting new results: your eBird checklists are now working even harder to advance science and our knowledge of birds.
This December's eBirder of the Month challenge, sponsored by Carl Zeiss Sports Optics, highlights the value of splitting your day of birding into multiple lists. The eBirder of the Month will be drawn from eBirders who submit 3 or more eligible checklists in a single day in December.
