eBird, the world’s largest birding community, is an app designed to help people keep track of the birds they see, share their own sightings, explore bird sightings around the world, and contribute to science and conservation. Users can manage lists, photos, and audio recordings; see real-time maps of species distribution; and get alerts when species have been seen in their area.
