2011-07-21 eBird surpasses 3 million observations submitted in a single month!
With your help, eBird reached a new milestone this May, gathering
3,067,344 bird observations over the course of the month! And
215,853--almost a quarter million--of those sightings came from Canada. Achieving our highest monthly total isn't just a fun anecdote though,
it also means more data for science and conservation, and more data to
share with birders around the world. As more birders begin to use eBird,
our ability to deliver real-time information to the birding
community improves, and the tools that we've developed work better. As
data volume increases, it helps shape the direction of future eBird
development. Most importantly, continued growth improves our ability to
protect birds and biodiversity by getting your data into the hands of
conservationists and scientists around the world. Thanks to eBirders
everywhere for making May 2011 our biggest month ever--and keep birding this summer!
