Whatever the reason for getting involved with this massive day of birding, every GBD has been a success where literally thousands of species are found by thousands of birders. I have been able to do that in Costa Rica because literally hundreds of bird species can be accessed in a question of hours.

As of mid-November 2021, the Collaborative had submitted more than 4,200 checklists (up from 1,700 in 2018) and has observed 691 species in the United States (up from 618). Thus, there are now seven states with 200+ observed species. The state with the largest increase was Arizona , with 139 species added.

While growing up in Niagara Falls, New York, I often wondered if the warm and humid weather was similar to the constant short-wearing climes of tropical places. Even so, we do have some sandpipers and plovers around; there have been recent reports of Surfbirds and various other wading species.

The Eastern Kingbirds I knew from the fields of upstate New York were smartly dressed birds that perched on fences and chased Red-tailed Hawks. This being an uncommon species in upstate New York, I appreciate having an abundance of Cliff Swallows to look at. Eastern Kingbirds Form Flocks. Swallows Everywhere.

The index lists bird species by whole name, which is less than satisfactory. Bird species are not capitalized. I understand that this is common in many media style sheets (looking at you, New York Times), but they should be capitalized in a bird book. Several are also listed here, but only for the Northwest.

As of mid-October 2018, the Collaborative had submitted more than 1,700 checklists and observed 618 species in the United States. The heat map is revealing: Unsurprisingly for a site founded and run by two New Yorkers (one of whom literally wrote the book on birding New York), the Empire State boasts the highest number of species (316).
