In May, 2023, we hosted a webinar that introduced basic concepts regarding Estimating Abundance and Trends for the World’s Birds using eBird data. During that webinar, many ornithologists were eager to take these concepts one step further so they could apply this to their own work.
We know how important it is for readers to have the ability to study or take into the field printed Birds of the World species accounts, and how consultants and federal and state biologists need to append hard copies to agency reports. Thanks to this new feature, things just got easier! .
Located in the isolated Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountains of northern Colombia, little has been known about the species as it was lost to science for 64 years before being photographed once in 2010, only to become lost again before its rediscovery in 2022 by Yurgen Vega, one of the authors of the new study.

Our understanding of avian evolutionary relationships constantly […]
Over the past 4 yrs, The Red-tailed Hawk Project has captured and sampled more than 400 hawks from 7 of the 16 described subspecies and deployed over 100 tracking units. In this webinar, Bryce Robinson, PhD Candidate at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, will share what the project has learned from these efforts, and what they hope to learn moving forward.
In this webinar, FERNANDO MEDRANO, the assistant director of the Chilean NGO called Red de Observadores de Aves y Vida Silvestre de Chile, presented an in-depth overview on what is known and yet unknown about the storm-petrels of the world.
A medida que Birds of the World se acerca al cierre de nuestro cuarto año (!), tenemos muchas buenas noticias que informar sobre cómo la plataforma se ha expandido y adaptado a nuevas oportunidades. ¡A continuación presentamos más detalles!
As Birds of the World inches towards the close of our fourth year (!), we have much good news to report about how the project has developed, expanded, and adapted to new opportunities. Please read on for details!
Three avian taxonomy experts from eBird and Birds of the World convened for a discussion of the recent updates to the eBird/Clements checklist. The team provided an in-depth overview of the 2023 taxonomy updates and recent efforts to standardize bird taxonomy across all major global checklists.
The 2023 annual eBird taxonomy update includes 3 newly-described species, 124 species gained because of splits, and 16 species lost through lumps, resulting in a net gain of 111 species and a new total of 11,017 species worldwide. Please visit eBird for a complete summary of the year’s updates.
