Cornell’s eBird application provides the platform so you can keep track of species you see, record them in lists attached to a GPS site, share this list with others and help identify species and their behaviors as well. It is an incredibly useful tool for birders of all levels to enhance their birding experiences while contributing to science and conservation. Join us for Beginner and Advanced learning courses.
