Bird Details
Every pin on the map is a real bird, seen by a real person, at that spot. Recent observations, rare and notable reports, and active birding hotspots are layered onto a single view, so you can open the map in an unfamiliar town and know within seconds what has been found there this week. Tap a pin for the species, the count, the observer's location, photos, and recordings of its song.
The map covers the whole world, not just North America. Drag it to Costa Rica, the Danube Delta, or Kruger and the sightings reload around wherever you are looking — the same data birders in those places are submitting themselves.
All sightings come from eBird, the citizen science database run by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the largest biodiversity dataset in the world, with more than a billion bird observations contributed by birders. When somebody finishes a walk and submits their checklist, those records become available almost immediately, which is why the map reflects this morning rather than last season.
Rarity is judged by eBird too. Each region has a filter, maintained by volunteer reviewers who know the local avifauna, listing which species are expected there and when. Reports that fall outside that filter are flagged as notable, and Birdr marks them distinctly on the map — so a Snowy Owl reads as ordinary in northern Canada and as a genuine rarity in Georgia.
The map loads roughly the last two weeks to a month of nearby observations, newest first, with rare reports pulled from a shorter window so they stay actionable. The lag isn't in the data pipeline, it's human: some birders submit from the trail within minutes, others upload the whole day's checklists in the evening. Treat anything from the last day or two as live, and anything older as a decent guide to what is around rather than a promise the bird is still there.
Allow location access and the map centres on you. From there, three habits get the most out of it. First, read locations as well as species — several unrelated birds coming from one spot usually means that spot is being covered well and is worth your morning. Second, turn on the hotspots layer when you're somewhere new; hotspots are public sites with years of accumulated checklists behind them, which is a far better bet than a promising-looking patch of green on a road map. Third, check the date on a pin before you drive. A warbler reported nine days ago has almost certainly moved on.
The one thing a map can't do is tell you when something new arrives, and rarities frequently stay only a day or two. That is what are for: draw an alert zone around the area you would realistically drive to, and Birdr checks fresh eBird data every 15 minutes and pushes you a notification when a rare bird, a species on your watchlist, or a gap in your life list is reported inside it. The map is for looking; alert zones are for being told.
All sighting data is sourced from eBird, the world's largest citizen science database for birds, managed by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. eBird contains over 1 billion bird observations submitted by birders worldwide.
The map shows observations from the last few days through the last month, newest first, and refreshes as birders submit new checklists to eBird. A sighting can appear within minutes of being reported, though many birders upload their checklists in the evening rather than from the field.
Open the map and allow location access, and it centres on you and loads the species reported nearby. You can also search for any place name or drag the map somewhere else — the sightings reload around wherever you are looking, so it works for planning a trip as well as for birding at home.
Yes. The map displays eBird hotspots — public birding locations with high species diversity. Toggle the hotspots layer to see parks, refuges, and trails where birders regularly find the most species.
Notable sightings are birds that are rare or unusual for a given area and time of year, as judged by eBird's regional filters and their volunteer reviewers. These are flagged separately on the map so you can spot rarities worth chasing near you.
The map itself is something you check; alert zones are what push to you. Draw a zone around the area you would realistically drive to, and Birdr checks fresh eBird data every 15 minutes and notifies you when a rare bird, a watchlist species, or a life-list gap is reported inside it.
