Bird Finder lists are organized by location and state. From your Apple device, tap on a state above and then select a county. Look below for lists of eBird hotspots by state.
Every Bird Finder list includes frequency marks indicating how often birds have been recorded at this location. This abundance data is an aggregate of all sightings submitted to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology eBird database.
For hotspot lists, abundance data is available by month. Tapping "ALL" will add abundance information for the entire year to your list (see example image left).
Tapping "MAP" displays a Google Map of the location.
