This month closes out Vermont eBird’s 14th year. Your contributions have made Vermont eBird the largest community-driven biodiversity dataset ever amassed in the Green Mountain State. Nearly 2,000 Vermont eBirders have submitted 260,000 complete checklists, representing all 385 species of birds ever reported from Vermont. We are constantly inspired by the power and passion of this world of interconnected birders, and we are excited as we look to the future of what we can achieve. Don’t forget: these are all your achievements. It is your information that powers the eBird engine. Every time you go out and keep a list of birds, you’re making a real contribution to our understanding of Vermont’s ever-changing avian biodiversity. Thank you!
