Featured Article: Get Prepared for Spring Migration


An oldie but goodie from Audubon. Get yourself ready for spring migration with these tips. Know where you need to be, when you need to be there, and what you might see. Author Nicholas Lund recalls his favorite spring migration memories and lays out the tools needed for a successful spring birding season.
 

"Like a runner preparing for the big race, you’ve got to train yourself now to be ready for the sights and sounds of spring. With a little hard work and lots of practice, any beginner can one day become the prince or princess of their own point."

Prepare now for spring migration!

BirdsEye Tricks & Tips: Filters


Do you know about the "filters" feature in the BirdsEye app? It's an awesome tool that helps you zero in on the birds you want to see. Filters allow you to customize your search by proximity to your location and how recently sightings were made. For example, you can focus on just the birds that have been reported a single park, or all sightings within 50 miles. This is perhaps the most powerful feature of BirdsEye. Read our step-by-step guide to learn more!
