#myebirdhistory: 5 months later

Back in February I heard about a way to map everywhere you've eBirded. It is a cool way to visualize everywhere that you've submitted an eBird checklist. I found is especially interesting to see where on the map I submitted a checklist while travelling using the eBird mobile app.

To learn how to map your data, click here.

Here is my eBird data from last time, 5 months ago.



Now, here is my most up to date data.




Quite the difference! I guess I got my parents to drive a lot...

I am most proud of how many more places that explored in Algonquin Park.



I also apparently submitted quite a lot of eBird checklists while up Thunder Bay way.


Here are some of the points from my trip to Virginia in March.



As expected, I birded a lot in Southern Ontario. Many new places were explored.





Another feature of eBird that is cool is the interactive map on the eBird profile page. It is a neat way to see your stats for an area (county, province/state, country, world).


I’m sure that I’ll add many more points before the year is over!

#myebirdhistory

Recently there's been this cool thing going around where you can plot all of the places you've eBirded. If you want to learn how to do this, just check out this link.

It is surprisingly easy to do, and it only took me a few moments.

Here's my eBird location map.


As expected, most of my eBird activity is around my home in Middlesex.


However there also seems to be a lot in the Lambton, Chatham-Kent, and Essex region.



Hopefully I'll be able to add a few more locations in the coming months!
