Description

eBird is a digital archive of bird observations. It’s a database of observations from across the planet. eBird users connect to the database via the Internet, to both contribute data and access data.In this episode, we’ll start off by going over what exactly eBird is. Then, we’ll consider the characteristics of the scientific data that eBird users produce. How do scientists make sure that data is of the highest quality? We’ll get into that too, as well as some useful tools that have been created using eBird data. I’ll also give you some interesting examples of published studies on birds that used eBird data.Links of InteresteBird best practices~~ Leave me a review using Podchaser ~~Link to this episode on the Science of Birds websiteSupport the show
