There’s a cool Hummingbird Migration map over at the Perky-Pet Bird Feeders website that shows monthly sightings of Anna’s, Allen’s, Costa’s, Ruby-throated, and Rufous Hummingbirds. You can observe and share your sightings as well. It is very intuitive and takes no time at all to submit a sighting! You can even upload a photo of the hummingbird you’re submitting. Super easy, super cool, DO IT!

As a bonus for submitting a sighting, you get a code for 20% off an online purchase. What are you waiting for? Start entering your hummingbird sightings!

I mapped my eBird history. You should too!

Zachary DeBruine of Birdventure Birding and Jared Fischer of Birding Maps & Tools developed a new tool for mapping personal eBird history. You do eBird, right? The basic idea is to map every location you’ve submitted an eBird checklist for. It’s a really fun and neat way to see where you have eBirded! If you are an eBird freak, like me, then you’ll really get a kick out of this. Here is my eBird history:

If you’re interested in mapping your eBird history, take a look at Zachary’s post here and Jared’s post here. If you decide to map your eBird history, post a link to your map in the comments!

Remember to try and submit at least, AT LEAST, one eBird checklist per day!
