Why Birds?
Birds can be used as “bio-indicators” to help assess the health of our ecosystems
• Occupy nearly all habitats
• Concentrate pesticides and chemical loads
• Prey upon, plants, animals and insects
• Are readily visible to the public
• Are already being monitored every day, and have been for many years!

How is eBird Different?
• Advanced geo-referencing
• All species
• Hemispheric-scale monitoring program
• Year-round
• Broad user-base

What is eBird?
• Tool for gathering observational data
• Persistent archive of bird observations• Gathers baseline data on
bird distribution and abundance
• Internet-based checklist program
• Public tool for data visualization

What Happens to the Data?
eBird data are available for free internet download
eBird data are combined with other bird survey data in the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN)
Can be used to create local checklists
Can be used for long-term monitoring
