Welcome to my bird app!
These are some tools I built using the eBird API to enrich my own birding experience.
Enter any valid eBird region code to set a default location for observations.

🦤 Rare or Notable Birds
See recent reports of Rare or Unusual birds!
The birds below were observed in unusual locations or at unexpected times of the year.
Unusual observations are "pending" until eBird manually reviews and confirms them.
Birders are not notified when their observations are confirmed, which is why I built this site!

When was each bird species last seen in your area?
I use this as a "gut check" when I think I've seen a certain bird but would feel more comfortable knowing that someone else saw it recently, too!
Birds are listed by how recently they were last reported.

🔎 Find an eBird region ID code
Start by entering a 2-letter country code. (Use "GB" for locations in Great Britain.)
You can also explore eBird.org to find your region ID
What is an eBird region?
You can explore eBird data for an entire country, or for a smaller region like a state or province... sometimes, for a specific county or city.
For example, you can search bird data in all of Canada (CA), in the entire province of Ontario (CA-ON), or just in the city of Toronto (CA-ON-TO).
The United States, Canada, and Great Britain (GB) are examples of areas where bird data is recorded by top level location, region and sub-region. Many countries, however, do not break down their regions into sub-regions. For example, Sweden's top-level country location code is SE, and Stockholm's location code is SE-AB, and there are no smaller sub-regions classified by eBird.
