the Black Range. Citizen
Science plays an
important role in building
the data set utilized by

document more than 100 million bird sightings a year. New tools are being developed all of the time, like the map below. eBird is managed by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Cornell University. It is completely integrated with the Macaulay Library (also at Cornell) which has been a wildlife media archive since 1929. The Macaulay Library is a resource for maps, photographs, video, and sound recordings for birds around the world. 10,056 bird species and 2,674 species of other faunal groups are covered by the Library, in close to 26 million photos, audio recordings, and videos.
