Re: [cobirds] Re: Speaking of eBird ...

Are we using eBird data beyond just bird sightings? 

What John Fitzpatrick presented was how eBird data was being used from CA portal to identify conservation matters of concern specifically in the central valley--where in partnership folks figured out that if rice farmers delayed flooding fields just one month (I recall) it had a significant impact of species.

Maybe this not the right forum to discuss?

Before there is a ton of discussion about the need for an eBird portal in Colorado, I would suggest you take a look at CFO's County Birding website: http://coloradocountybirding.org/

 

Here you will find Colorado eBird data quite nicely integrated and made available to anyone wanting to view it. Click on Weld County as an example: http://coloradocountybirding.org/ByCounty.aspx?CountyID=63.

 

On this main page you will see the eBird BirdTrax tool on the right. This amazing little plug-in  gives you the latest eBird checklists from Weld, as well as eBird rarities, and recent sightings.  In addition you can get an eBird Seasonal Chart specific to Weld by clicking on the orange bar below the BirdTrax box as well as having the ability to click another link to get all CBRC accepted records from Weld.

 

Going a bit more down the page, note the many eBird hotspot locations. Click on a hotspot link and you can see even MORE specific eBird information, down to that  specific location within in Weld. This eBird information is live so always up to date.

 

Go to ANY county on the Colorado County Birding website and you will find the same information. This website has a wealth of county specific information and integrated eBird data. I can honestly say I have not found ANY state county birding guide (or state eBird portal for that matter) that can come close to equaling the Colorado County Birding website for usefulness, integration with eBird data, and for providing up to date county specific information for birders everywhere.
