Overview: 

This web site hosts time series data sets from hundreds of independent projects aiming to understand the patterns and dynamics of bird populations across the western hemisphere. In particular, eBird connects remote-sensed data of landscape variables and human population to species ocurrence.  Each data set consists of observational data, the whole website is a compilation of different observational studies.
