On every eBird checklist birders are asked a simple question: “Are you submitting a complete checklist of the birds you saw/heard?” Though simple in concept, the power of reporting all species should not be underestimated. By submitting a complete checklist of the birds you saw or heard to the best of your ability, you are telling us not only about the birds you found, but you’re also telling us that you did NOT observe a suite of other potential species. By submitting a complete checklist of birds we can learn more about where a species occurs with regularity, but equally important we can begin to say with certainty where it does not occur. This allows us to map entire species’ ranges with more accuracy. When you submit a complete checklist of birds to eBird you’re gathering data for only the species you observed, you are also gathering important “negative data” on a suite of other birds.

Winter has set in here at the Lab as we bring to an end yet another great birding year. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for making eBird part of your everyday birding this year, and to extend our thanks to our coworkers who have worked hard behind the scenes all year to make eBird the ever-growing, forward-moving birding tool it has become. 2008 has been a very successful year for eBird. Thanks to your hard work we now gather over a million
observations per month–and it’s still just a drop in the bucket
compared with what’s possible! We’ve seen participation grow across the continent, users have become better-informed citizen-scientists, and a host of new developments have been launched that make it easier for birders to enjoy eBird to the fullest! In this report we highlight some of these important updates and set our sights on an even better 2009!

Many birders are intrigued by the idea of recording bird songs. For some of us, it provides a mechanism for learning songs, for others its a critical part of a research endeavor. Here’s your invitation to retreat to the Sierra Nevada for a week where you’ll spend each morning in the field recording birds, birding along the way. Join experienced instructors from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s Macaulay Library for classroom sessions covering everything you want to know about recording equipment, tips, and techniques. The workshop will be held at San Francisco State University’s Sierra Nevada Field Campus in the Tahoe National Forest.
