BFS Bird Survey data now on eBird
September 13, 2009 by Nancy Hamlett
Monthly bird survey records for the Bernard Field Station (2001-present) are now available on eBird!
‘eBird’ is an online checklist program launched in 2002 by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society. eBird is free and available to anyone, although to get the most out eBird’s features, you may want to register (also free). You can access the eBird data in several different ways; for instance, here is a screenshot of an eBird ‘Bar Chart’ showing the frequency of sightings by date:
You can also download the data as an Excel spreadsheet.
Check out our BFS eBird page for complete instructions on how to access the data.
Many, many thanks to Cathy McFadden, Vivian & D. Kenneth Baker Professor of Biology at Harvey Mudd College (and one of LA County’s top birders!), for carrying out the monthly surveys and for putting the data on eBird!
