Online Guilford County Species Frequency List (eBird)
eBird is a real-time online checklist program operated by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and National Audubon Society. By accumulating reports of bird sightings submitted by everyday birders, eBird compiles rich data for basic information on bird abundance and distribution. For more information about eBird, go to ebird.org.
