Bonner BlackGUEST
Yes.
Bonner BlackGUEST
That has not reached the U.S. Cornell University's lab of ornithology and eBird are still very much into in promotion of bird feeding.
Bonner BlackGUEST
It shows that it is helping our birds.
Bonner BlackGUEST
It's helping us get a lot of data.
Ken BehrensHOST
And yeah, it just...
Ken BehrensHOST
Having looked at eBird records a few times for the winter, it's just a cool bunch of birds.
Ken BehrensHOST
Just as birdy as it is in Amsterdam, I bet the countryside and the coast are really loaded with birds at that time of the year.
Ken BehrensHOST
So it won't be my last visit by any means.
Bill YurickPANELIST
Well, yeah, well, okay.
Bill YurickPANELIST
And Saturday evening, I get the eBird reports, like the rare eBird reports.
Bill YurickPANELIST
And Saturday night, the rare eBird report came over my email of Philadelphia Vireo.
Bill YurickPANELIST
And I thought, okay, this is the time for it.
Bill YurickPANELIST
And it said Skyline Drive.
Nate SwickHOST
This is the body that decides bird taxonomy in North America.
Nate SwickHOST
Basically, what species you can count on your list for the ABA or for eBird.
Nate SwickHOST
Usually, those come out in late July in a supplement that is published on the AOS website.
Nate SwickHOST
They've been later than normal this year.
Nate SwickHOST
But we learned about them from another somewhat unorthodox channel.
Nate SwickHOST
You see, a new field guide to U.S. and Canada birds is scheduled to come out next year.
Nate SwickHOST
It's from Princeton University Press, one of our favorite publishers of nature books, and it's authored, uh, by eBird's Brian Sullivan and Chris Wood, along with Michael O'Brien and Steve Howell, and illustrated by Ian Lewington, the UK artist who was the primary illustrator for the Collins Guide to Birds of Europe.
Nate SwickHOST
Some heavy hitters.
Ben RumsbyGUEST
Yeah [laughs], competitive is a good, good point actually.
Ben RumsbyGUEST
Um, with, with eBird coming in for, that's kind of made it into, I guess, a leaderboard, and you're able to share checklists.
Ben RumsbyGUEST
You're able to go birding together, and you're able to compare lists as well.
Ben RumsbyGUEST
I think that competitive aspect of it, definitely it gets a little bit more, um, influence to go out birding a bit more.
14 MINS LATER
Ajay TegalaHOST
And are apps helping to make those more... getting more participation, would you say?
Ben RumsbyGUEST
I, I...
Ben RumsbyGUEST
Yeah, I'd also say with that, especially with eBird, the fact that it's a really good way of to log everything.
Ben RumsbyGUEST
It could bring people together.
Arielle FurnierGUEST
And so we can, we can find ways to help our communities and also help the birds along the way.
Arielle FurnierGUEST
In terms of, like, citizen or community science, you know, contributing to things like eBird is really useful.
Arielle FurnierGUEST
You know, Cornell's been able to make some really great products out of that that are really useful for understanding birds, especially at really large spatial scales, which is really cool.
Arielle FurnierGUEST
And yeah, you know, in a...
Ian LycettHOST
that.
Ian LycettHOST
And he's a big eBirder as well and he counts everything which I take my hat off to him.
Ian LycettHOST
When you say he counts everything, what do you mean? So if you want to know how many cormorants there have been on the George show.
Ian LycettHOST
Oh, sorry,
TowerHOST
In areas near wildlife concentration zones, think carefully about your departure and approach geometry.
TowerHOST
A practical resource that most pilots haven't discovered, eBird, maintained by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, gives you near real-time data on bird population concentrations reported by observers on the ground.
TowerHOST
If you're planning a fall cross country through a migration corridor, a quick look at eBird will tell you what to expect in terms of species density and altitude.
TowerHOST
The U.S.
TowerHOST
Fish and Wildlife Service also publishes seasonal flyway maps that help identify high concentration zones.
Joan StrassmannGUEST
you might end the day with a huge list but it's not really warming your heart so even if i'm driving around which of course i do i would rather spend more time at a given place and really try to get all of the birds in an area, not just the unusual ones.
Joan StrassmannGUEST
So I like to do the kind of birding where on eBird I can check, yes, this is a list of all of the birds that I could identify.
Matthew RadfordHOST
My guest in this episode is Dr. Joan Strausman.
Matthew RadfordHOST
She is an award-winning teacher of animal behavior, first at Rice University in Houston, and now at Washington University in St. Louis, where she is a Charles Rebstock professor of biology.
Matthew RadfordHOST
So I've been through the whole book and just absolutely loved it.
Matthew RadfordHOST
Absolutely love it.
Matthew RadfordHOST
And I have to admit, I love eBird, and you emphasized eBird, and you mentioned some great places like your Flynn Park, and so I've stalked your eBird a little bit even, and looked at where you've been, and some of the great bird lists, and I just, I love to have learned more about your home there, so...
Matthew RadfordHOST
Would you describe kind of in that vein some of your local and recent birding and exploring kind of close to home in terms of where you've been, what you've done in terms of birds close to home?
Chris DuckerHOST
You...
Chris DuckerHOST
Do you keep lists? I mean, d- are you kind of, you know, looking at each other's eBirds when one's not around to see how many, how many lifeies you got on, on top of each other? You know, how, how competitive, I think is what we want.
Chris DuckerHOST
How competitive does it actually get?
Hannah BuchertGUEST
Well, Eric really likes the data version of all of birding.
