I have added a video of 2 Black-billed Magpies building a nest to my home eBird checklist this morning. Cornell is testing video on checklists, so not everyone has this capability yet. I also got audio recordings of Blue Jays and Spotted Towhees on the list. It is a great time now to do audio recordings because there is not as much miscellaneous noise ie... traffic, airplanes, schools and people that can overlay a good recording.
Also, you can add breeding status codes to a species on your list. And photos always enrich an eBird checklist. Here is a link to my checklist from this morning. The audio recording and photos were done from my deck and the video was done on my phone through a spotting scope in the house and hand held.
Birding from home or your local patch can be fun when you really look at behavior. See what you can add to your list.
