Title: Patterns from eBird –Cedar Waxwing Migration patterns remain poorly understood Post by: Donna on 10-Mar-10, 06:35:55 AM March 8, 2010
Patterns from eBird – Cedar Waxwing The Cedar Waxwing is an abundant and easily recognized bird across much of North America, yet its migration patterns remain poorly understood. This is because across much of the country Cedar Waxwings are present year-round, making influxes of migrants hard to discern. eBird now provides a unique information resource for identifying patterns of species occurrence, since it draws upon a network of tens of thousands of contributors who collect observations throughout the year. Our "Patterns from eBird" feature will highlight and discuss some of the interesting and enlightening natural patterns that can be uncovered using eBird's "View and Explore Data" tools. |
