Citizen Science Guide All across North America, thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds are participating in bird projects. From backyards to remote forests, these citizens represent the world's largest research team. We call them citizen scientists. We invite you to become a citizen scientist, too.

eBird Like the GBBC, eBird is an online database program – except with eBird, the counting keeps going. And eBird lets you and your family keep detailed lists of your own sightings, create an individualized menu of your favorite birding spots, and much more.
