On 22 January 2019, #eBird and the @MacaulayLibrary reached another milestone: 10 million photos. Thank you to photographers everywhere who have made this possible. This landmark image is of a Rufous-backed Redstart, taken by Pavel Parkhaev in Kazakhstan.

Proud to say that the new eBird Status & Trends ranges boundaries are ONLY downloadable as GeoPackages! We'll never escape from shapefiles unless we commit to not using them as the default. This is why you should switch: https://t.co/X5QzKcCNkE @opengeospatial @GeoPackage1 #gis

eBird's new Abundance Maps give a single-frame snapshot of a species' full range, where it's most numerous, and in what season it is there. A single map may have never contained so much information about where and when a species occurs. Explore more: https://t.co/Q6Z7ckW890

eBird Status & Trends is produced almost entirely using #rstats, from data manipulation, to modeling, to making beautiful maps of relative abundance, range boundaries, and trends for 107 species! Thanks to the amazing community of R package developers that made this possible 🙏

eBird Status and Trends: Here's what happens when birders enter 12 million checklists and @Team_eBird crosses them with NASA satellite data. We get maps of how 107 bird species are doing all across North America: https://t.co/FBl7R7Gbgu

[eBird @Team_eBird]

A new era of eBird Science is here: Status and Trends. Your sightings and novel analysis methods have combined to create detailed population information for 107 species of North American birds. Learn more and explore exciting new results here: https://t.co/wI7X1SA9VV

Reviving my long-dormant twitter for a very good reason: we've formed a union at the @NewYorker ! I love working here, I love the people I work with, and I want this place to continue thriving #NewYorkerUnion

[Taylor Long @mtaylorlong]

@tom_auer I'm not at all regretful that I decided not to join you this weekend. Nope. No regrets here.

This epic @Team_eBird checklist of 700,000+ warblers is by far the most viewed page on https://t.co/z8y5FUZQ1L today – way more visits than Home, My eBird, or Explore. It's already one of the most viewed checklists in eBird history. #Migration https://t.co/w8LYRzxPTa

[eBird @Team_eBird]

Come work at #eBird, the @MacaulayLibrary, and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology! Be a part of the future of birding. Right now we have five positions available—learn more here: https://t.co/s92wIg2jAM

[eBird @Team_eBird]

We've done it! A new world record! As a global team, 25,851 birders have reported 6,671 species of birds on #GlobalBigDay (and still climbing!). Thank you.

If you went birding on 5 May, your sightings can still count! Report them on #eBird before 9 May: https://t.co/dzmdBqgsZd

[eBird @Team_eBird]

#GlobalBigDay is happening! 2080 bird species have already been reported from 1000 birders in 92 countries, and the day is still young for most of the world...!

Make sure to go birding today, 5 May, and submit your sightings to #eBird to make them count! https://t.co/dzmdBqgsZd

[Taylor Long @mtaylorlong]

I love watching the first @Team_eBird observations appear from countries where it is already May 5th. #GlobalBigDay - coming soon to a time zone near you! https://t.co/iLGLe59pHe

[eBird @Team_eBird]

#eBird and the @MacaulayLibrary have a fun & useful new tool: the eBird photo + sound quiz. Have fun while practicing your bird identification! Warning: your spare time may never be the same. https://t.co/P91pVzszhn
