eBird Trail Tracker Demo
What is eBird Trail Tracker?
eBird Trail Tracker is an electronic gateway to bird sightings at wildlife refuges and nature centers. Visitors can:
- See which birds are being reported
- Find out where the birds are located
- Record their own observations
- View photos, audio, video, and life histories of birds at the site
The observation records become part of eBird, an online checklist program that scientists, birders, and anyone with Internet access can use to review bird observation information from specific locations across North America.
