The NC Bird Atlas is an Easy Way for You to Get Involved in Tracking Bird Populations

The NC Bird Atlas is a statewide community science project to map birds during the breeding and wintering seasons. The app you’ll use to report bird sightings and behavior is called eBird and it’s easy to use and will provide information on the distribution and abundance of different bird species throughout North Carolina. You can find a link to the app at the bottom of this page: ebird.org/atlasnc/about

Birds are the most accessible form of wildlife for people to witness and observe and crucial to the health of North Carolina’s wild, natural places. Yet, we’ve lost one in four birds since 1970 nationwide, an estimated total of 2.9 billion.

The NC Bird Atlas’ motto is “People Count. Birds Count.” They are committed to a volunteer team as diverse as the state’s birds, and are listening for diverse voices and birding skills of all levels to carry out this cooperative, large-scale conservation effort.
