Crosby Sanctuary eBird Hotspot

Crosby Sanctuary is listed as a hotspot on eBird. There are over eighty species of birds recorded from Crosby. Please go to eBird and look up Crosby Sanctuary as a hotspot by clicking on "eBird " in the Links section of this blog. You will have to register yourself on eBird to gain access, but it's well worth the trouble. The beauty of eBird is that it lets you look at this information (data) in various ways. For instance, you can see when the first time a bird species was observed, the last time observed, and the high count (most of each individual species seen at one time) by location, hotspot, or region. It's a great way to record your bird observations, keep track of your favorite spot, and prepare for a birding trip to any of the listed hotspots. Many famous birding spots are listed hotspots and kept up to date with observations!
