Calling all bird lovers! We need everyone who cares about birds to rally together for the passage of the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act.

Each year World Migratory Bird Day (WMBD) focuses on a different threat to birds. This year’s theme is light pollution.

Have you observed the American Wigeon (Mareca americana) in your part of the Pacific Northwest? Depending on where you are, you might see this duck as a resident species or migrant, or find it only during the non-breeding or breeding season.

This month’s eBirder of the Month challenge, sponsored by Carl Zeiss Sports Optics, is all about birding on Global Big Day! The eBirder of the month will be drawn from eBirders who submit five (5) or more eligible checklists on 14 May.

The team of veteran sound recordists at the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology is bringing their expertise to a new online course on sound recording. In May, every eligible checklist you submit gives you a chance to win free access to Bird Academy’s How to Record Bird Sounds course.

The iNaturalist app is a great way to increase your naturalist knowledge. Build your knowledge by talking with other naturalists and helping others.

Learning to recognize birds by sound can help you to experience nature in a whole new way. Use Merlin Bird ID in combination with other listening techniques to “tune in” to the soundscape around you.

This month’s eBirder of the Month challenge, sponsored by Carl Zeiss Sports Optics, will help you get to know the birds in one location. The eBirder of the Month will be drawn from eBirders who submit 20 eligible checklists from one location in April.

Hello eBirders, Here at eBird NW, we are updating our community science page. We would love to hear from you about any projects that you are a part of and/or organizing that should be advertised on eBird NW.

Be a part of birding’s biggest team! Global Big Day is an annual celebration of the birds around you.
