eBird is a great tool for many purposes, but there are times when a birder wants to know how to best bird a hotspot, where to park at the hotspot, are there restrooms there, and generally about birding the hotspot. It is great to ask a local birder, but often that is not possible, and so what to do? Now the answer is easy. Go to BirdingHotspots.org where my guests Ken Ostermiller and Adam Jackson have created an open source, crowdsourced site for birders to help each other know how to find birds at any eBird hotspot.
You can help by using the "suggest edit" feature to help flesh out the information on any hotspot.
Please get feedback to me, or contact Ken to volunteer to help as an editor for your state.
Thanks for listening. Please leave a rating and reveiw. See more on the Bird Banter Blog.
Until next time, good birding and good day.
