Search anywhere
Type any city, region, or country — or use GPS in the field. See every species reported nearby in eBird's global database, from yesterday to the last 30 days.
Spot your lifers
Upload your eBird life list once and every search instantly highlights which birds nearby would be new for you. Filter to lifers only and focus on what matters.
Share target lists
Export a formatted target list — plain text for your guide or friends, or a fully linked document with every species connected to its eBird page. No other birding app does this.
The app

Everything you need
in one place

An interactive map shows every reporting hotspot. The species list updates in real time as you adjust your radius, date range, or filters.
