Now that you can input bird observation data from anywhere in the world into eBird there is some really cool information available, like world-wide range maps for any species in the world. Of course, once more data is entered outside of North America the maps will be much more valuable. Try it out; it’s fun!
Corey is a New Yorker who lived most of his life in upstate New York but has lived in Queens since 2008. He's only been birding since 2005 but has garnered a respectable life list by birding whenever he wasn't working as a union representative or spending time with his family. He lives in Forest Hills with Daisy and Desmond Shearwater. His bird photographs have appeared on the Today Show, in Birding, Living Bird Magazine, Bird Watcher's Digest, and many other fine publications. He is also the author of the American Birding Association Field Guide to the Birds of New York.
The Parasitic Jaegar map is pretty funny – it repeats Europe, Asia and Africa three times across the screen.
It is very cool. I need to keep better notes; I’ve been adding all my sightings over the years but I seldom collected detailed enough notes to ad here.
