To facilitate a better count experience we ask all birders to submit their checklists via eBird. For day counts (CBC, SBC) we recommend starting a new checklist for each location you bird during the day.
We also encourage folks to sign up to cover a designated "block" (see count page) in advance of the count to help ensure broad coverage of the count circle. That said, all are welcome to contribute via eBird regardless of block designations (so long as checklists are within the count circle).
eBird steps
join the Durham CBC Trip Report (https://ebird.org/tripreport/429825). Please join before you submit your first checklist (you can even join days in advance; only checklists submitted during count day will be reported).
start an eBird checklist (one checklist for each location you bird)
submit individual checklists (all checklists will be compiled automatically in the trip report)
(optional) create your own trip report - this will combine only your checklists for your own records. Your totals will still go to the CBC/SBC Trip report. Details.
