Hello All,

I would like to encourage all birders or anyone that just enjoys birds from
their backyard to check out eBird. eBird is an online database where you can
submit your bird observations. It is developed by Cornell and is quickly
becoming very popular with birders around the world. The data from you
observations can then be used to track all kinds of things and be used in
scientific analysis. It is also a perfect way to keep track of all your
records as well as look up a whole slough of information on birds of any
particular area. I started using eBird this summer and it has made me a more
conscious observer in the field and makes my observations useful in a
broader scientific scale. Currently, very few people in Nova Scotia use
eBird regularly to submit their checklists. I would encourage you to start
today because this would contribute tremendously to the province's database
and allow for the long-term tracking of bird movements throughout Nova
Scotia. eBird even allows you to upload any old checklists that you may have
on paper or in other birding programs. The other great thing about eBird is
that reporting common species is just as good as reporting rare species. The
program itself is pretty straight forward with only a slight learning curve
and once you get into the habit of submitting your reports, you will find
that it is a rewarding and fulfilling endeavor.

Just go to ebird.ca to get started!

Cheers,
Dominic Cormier
