On 22 January 2019, #eBird and the @MacaulayLibrary reached another milestone: 10 million photos. Thank you to photographers everywhere who have made this possible. This landmark image is of a Rufous-backed Redstart, taken by Pavel Parkhaev in Kazakhstan.

Proud to say that the new eBird Status & Trends ranges boundaries are ONLY downloadable as GeoPackages! We'll never escape from shapefiles unless we commit to not using them as the default. This is why you should switch: switchfromshapefile.org/ @opengeospatial @GeoPackage1 #gis

eBird's new Abundance Maps give a single-frame snapshot of a species' full range, where it's most numerous, and in what season it is there. A single map may have never contained so much information about where and when a species occurs. Explore more: ebird.org/science/status-and…

eBird Status & Trends is produced almost entirely using #rstats, from data manipulation, to modeling, to making beautiful maps of relative abundance, range boundaries, and trends for 107 species! Thanks to the amazing community of R package developers that made this possible 🙏
