Many birders strive for the eBird Vermont County 150 Award and some even go for the Vermont 250 Award. Who joined the ranks in 2025? Check out this blog post at eBird Vermont and find out!
Congrats to everyone for a great year of eBirding, the 23rd year for our portal! One of the goals for starting eBird Vermont was to see if we could detect population changes in Vermont using all the bird observations we all collected each year. The answer decades later is yes! It is unbelievable to be able to look at these trends, and spatial to boot! If you have not played with it, check it out here - https://science.ebird .org/en/status-and-trends/species?regionCode=US-VT. And then you can navigate to a species. like our state bird...which...isn't doing so well... https://science.ebird .org/en/status-and-trends/species/herthr/trends-map?regionCode=USA-VT.
Finally, don't forget to add breeding bird codes to your checklists too! Learn more about that at the eBird Vermont Blog - https://ebird.org/region/US-VT/posts
Thanks for eBirding, Kent ____________________________
