Bird Finder March 2021
Web app that helps you figure out where best to look for a particular bird species in your area.
I took up birding in 2020. eBird is an amazing citizen science project where birders submit checklists of the species that they see. It is a HUGE dataset, and all of that data is available for download. So, I processed the entire dataset to compute how often each species is reported at each location in each month of the year. Then I built this web app on top of it, mostly so I could more quickly figure out the best local hotspots to check when searching for a particular species.
Just enter a location, a radius, and a month to see a list of the most likely species. Each one has a little chart showing its frequency throughout the year. Click on a species to see the best nearby hotspots for finding it. You can even compare two different locations or two different months!
