Phippsburg, Me map 6 Totman Cove
A comment was made to me today that I have an impressive list of birds for my yard. Having no clue (don't you all jump in here now!) and out of curiosity, I checked on eBird for my yard list, not sure what it would be. I am thankful that I have eBird to tell me as an off-shoot of the sightings I enter there. Until today, I had not thought about how many species I've seen here on Totman Cove. Low and behold, I rank 32 of all of eBirder's out of 1464 with yard lists across the country (if I've interpreted it correctly). Now, if only I would getter better at the various warblers sightings here in front of me in the spring and fall! Not only does eBird collect data from citizen scientists, it encourages folks like me to improve our ID skills.
