In the face of large-scale disaster, one of the first keys to recovery is the ability to quickly assess damage and prioritize efforts. The Cornell Lab and Audubon have mobilized birders in all the Gulf Coast states to report their sightings to eBird. Since May 4, volunteers have submitted more than 175,000 observations--key data that can be compared with past years to understand the oil’s impact on birds and pinpoint locations for immediate and long-term recovery.
Please contribute your sightings to http://www.ebird.org/.
