For those not familiar with eBird, it is a project that collects large numbers of observations entered by birders and then allows the data to be explored in a variety of ways. There is some attempt to filter the data, but it is still not entirely reliable. Nevertheless, the links below to data entered from the Water Ranch give a good general idea of how common species are and when they are likely to be seen. However, the species do not entirely coincide with those on the compiled checklist and there are undoubtably errors in the eBird data. For more information on eBird, including how you can enter your data, click here. Link to bar graph of seasonal abundance of birds at the Water Ranch from 2000-2012. Click here. If you become a registered member of eBird, you can also get data about high counts, arrival and departure dates from the Water Ranch. |
