You can bird from the comfort of your home, while on a walk, skiing, or ice fishing!
Any bird observed in Maine between December 14, 2022 and March 15, 2023, will help us complete the five-year Maine Bird Atlas project.
You don’t need to be a birding expert to provide valuable observations to this citizen science project. Every bird sighting helps, even the birds in your backyard or at your feeder.
Sharing your sightings is easy!
Step 1: Go outside OR watch for birds in your yard from the comfort of your home
Step 2: Take note of:
- What species you see
- When (day and estimate of time)
- Where you see it
AND
- How many individuals of a species you see at any one time
Step 3: Create an account at ebird.org/me
Step 4: Log into your account at ebird.org/me and click “Submit.” Follow the prompts to enter your observations.
It’s that easy! Thank you for sharing your sighting and participating in this project to help guide Maine’s future bird conservation efforts.
