eBird Continues to Grow and Improve

eBird, the massive online checklist project administered by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, continues to grow, including more than 1,000,000 checklists submitted in a single month. Read the eBird Annual Report for 2008 here.

Better yet, add the eBird blog—Birding News and Features—to your regular reading list. One of my favorite entries of late was the explanation of the new, updated Bar Charts feature, which is a marked improvement over the previous version. Others may enjoy the recent discussion of crossbill vocalizations.
