Alaska eBird

What is Alaska eBird?

Alaska eBird is a powerful on-line tool to record your own bird observations made in Alaska or anywhere else in North America.

Why should you use Alaska eBird?

- to organize and maintain your life list
- to create lists of your bird sightings by place, time, or species
- to design maps and graphs of your observations
- to find birding hotspots as you plan your travels
- to discover places to find you “life” birds
- to look for trends and patterns at any geographic scale
- to contribute your observations to science and conservation

How do you use Alaska eBird?

It’s as simply as: register, create checklist, and submit! Alaska eBird is easy to use. Each checklist needs the following:
- where did you go birding?
- Date and observation type
- What did you see or hear?
- Confirmation of your date

That’s it! Don’t worry about someone reporting a flamingo in Alaska because Alaska eBird has a series of filters developed by regional bird experts who review all submissions before they enter the database. This ensures the basic quality of all entries.

Contribute to Science

With each checklist you submit to Alaska eBird, you provide scientists with increasingly valuable data on the distribution and abundance of birds, and you help monitor the health of bird populations and their habitats at Important Bird Areas and other key locations.
