eBird is an application for Android developed by the Cornell Lab to revolutionize the way bird enthusiasts document and share sightings.
Research
The companion makes it easy to record bird sightings. Users can document species observed, numbers seen and additional notes, creating a digital proof of their birdwatching adventures. In addition, it is possible to connect to a worldwide community of like-minded individuals, enabling contributions to one of the most extensive avian databases.
Species
There are tools to discover birding hotspots where you may learn about species in specific areas. With detailed maps of sightings you are able to plan birdwatching trips or explore new regions for unique avian breeds.
Moreover, it is possible to maintain personalized life, year and trip lists of observed birds. The app allows you to sync data across multiple devices and easily track your progress. On top of that, once you install Dropbox, you are able to upload your documentation there for cloud storage.
Thanks to offline data collection, you can use key features in remote locations with limited connectivity. For example, there is an option to log observations and sync them when internet access becomes available.
