eBird
What is eBird and how does Northwest Nevada Bird Alliance use it?
​
eBird is a global birdwatching, citizen science project run by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Using eBird involves taking a bird walk where you record a checklist including time, place, bird species and number of birds observed. You then submit this checklist to the Cornell Lab via the eBird website, giving the ornithologists data for bird population models.
In addition to recording bird species for science, eBird keeps track of all bird species you observed in your life time (a life list). To start submitting your own checklists on eBird, you must first register for an free eBird account. To learn more about eBird or sign up for an account, click here:

We have a chapter eBird account for Northwest Nevada Bird Alliance. Our field trip leaders often keep eBird checklists from our walks, and share them with our participants so you can have a record of the bird species you see on our trips. We also use our chapter account to connect with other eBird users from around the region, and participate in birding events, such as the Global Big Day. To view our chapter account, click here.
