Do you want to monitor or inventory your land for birds to help justify an easement, write a grant, or engage a potential landowner? Or, are you looking for volunteers who can monitor your land?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

eBird is an ideal tool for recording bird observations, and a link to hundreds of thousands of participatory scientists who use it every day. eBird is amassing one of the largest and fastest-growing biodiversity data resources in the world through user-submitted checklists that document the presence or abundance of species on your land. In May\u00a02025 alone, participants recorded more than 41.5 million bird observations across the world! eBird volunteers may already be monitoring birds on your land if it\u2019s publicly accessible. Below we explain how to discover and access this information for your area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
