Today I reached an eBird milestone: 1000 checklists submitted! I have also completed checklists for the last 336 days in a row! Woo Hoo! What is eBird? "eBird is among the world’s largest biodiversity-related science projects, with more than 100 million bird sightings contributed annually"

A cellphone screenshot from the eBird app. The text reads: 1000 Checklists.

Two new dream observations last night. First, a large murmuration of Variable Oystercatchers. I saw 2% of the global population, flying over one field. They don't normally fly in large flocks like this, so that was cool to witness.

Second, the first time one has ever been taken by a Peregrine Falcon, which was also a lifer (#93)!

I have been a casual birder since last year, every now and then busting out Merlin Bird ID on my phone to add a new bird I would randomly hear or see. But in the last several days I have really stepped up my birding game! I discovered #eBird and now I'm really hooked. Seeing my stats is fun, and the data I collect is actually beneficial for science.

Four lifers last night! Silver Gull and Kelp Gull – surprising, as I've lived here for almost a year now. But the Sooty Albatross and Southern Fulmar flying over the streets of Edinburgh were lovely.

First record of a Southern Fulmar north of the equator, as far as I can tell.

I've edited my automatic incidental eBird Logger using @alfredapp on my computer to say "Bird logged, well done!" when I log it. Somehow, she says it in a Geordie accent, which I am very OK with.

My “life list” since I started logging #birds on eeBird last year. What’s going to be number 100?

I have 3 or 4 #birding trips I went on with some lifers but never got around to logging them on #eBird. Its almost been a year now 😬

Here's the general area I am looking at.

This is just eBird data. Look at this shipping lanes!

The rain let up briefly and we did some porch birding (she’s an indoor cat but we sit and bird together on the porch sometimes). Heard our first blue-headed vireo of the year singing in the backyard. Yellow-rumped warblers have also returned. She needs her own eBird account.

I got tired of opening eBird for incidental birds I see from my window while I work on my laptop. So, I made an automatic logger for my command line, and added an Alfred extension so I could log in with a few keystrokes.

You can also add comments and numbers, which is nice.

For the second time in a week, I have added a swan species to my list of birds I've dreamed about. This morning I was woken up by a Black Swan attacking me while I was swimming, after I followed it around. A few days ago, I watched a large flock of Trumpeter Swans from an aerial train.

Strange to me that both swan species are on my list, but I still haven't dreamt of Mute Swans.

Today I logged a hawk, White-breasted Nuthatch, a Tufted Titmouse, a duck, a White-faced Storm-Petrel, a Pintado, and a Haast Eagle on my eBird checklists.

Keeping private logs of the birds in your dreams is wild.

Tearing it up this year on the birbing front at least. #birdinglife #ebird #gamification

New dream lifer (#71) this morning - Little Owl. I recorded it in a park. Then I went and had to explain to people in a conference who were waiting why the dishwasher was broken.
