Birders Do Citizen Science for Migration

Migration Map Based on eBird Data

The New York Times recently reported on how information from birders has helped to map bird migrations.

This data exists only because of the contributions of birders like you — citizen science at its best!

You can see the Times article online; it includes a fascinating animated migration map.
