Your eBird observations can power cutting-edge science like eBird\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ebird.org\/science\/status-and-trends\">Status and Trend maps<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ebird.freshdesk.com\/support\/solutions\/articles\/48000795623\">eBird Rules and Best Practices\u00a0<\/a>for a better understanding of these concepts and more. We recommend keeping Traveling checklists\u00a0under 5 miles (8 km)<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>and Stationary checklists\u00a0under 3 hours\u00a0for your sightings to make the biggest impact for science. However, limiting your checklists to less than one hour or one mile provides even more checklist precision!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Complete checklists are most valuable, and it&#8217;s also best to submit multiple short checklists rather than one long one, as long checklists over large areas provide less information about exactly where and when birds were observed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6.
