August eBirder of the Month Problem

This month’s eBirder of the Month problem, subsidized by way of ZEISS, highlights the worth of splitting your day of birding into a couple of lists. On every occasion you might be birding, it is very important create new checklists for each and every habitat you seek advice from, after 3 hours in a single location, or after masking 5 miles. Conserving separate lists for each and every distinct position you seek advice from makes a large distinction in how your sightings will also be treasured for fellow birders, researchers, and to your personal recollections someday.

The eBirder of the Month might be drawn from eBirders who publish 3 or extra eligible checklists in one day in August. On a daily basis that you just publish 3 or extra eligible checklists will give you one likelihood to win. That’s as much as 31 possibilities to win!

You’ll be questioning when to forestall a tick list and get started a brand new one. A excellent rule of thumb if you happen to’re riding between birding places is to start out your tick list while you get out of the automobile and forestall the record while you get again in. Despite the fact that you’re simply preventing at each and every position for a couple of mins, those shorter lists are extremely impactful! On the whole, the extra exact the record (shorter distance and period), the extra treasured the tips. You’ll be able to be told extra about perfect practices and find out how to make your eBirding more straightforward thru our eBird Necessities route.

August’s winner will obtain a brand new ZEISS SFL 8×40 binocular and might be notified by way of the tenth of the next month.

Every month we will be able to characteristic a brand new eBird problem and set of variety standards. And don’t omit to publish lists for the 2024 Tick list-a-day Problem!
