How the Magic Happens
- Enter your city and province/state.
- Smash Search Birds.
- We geocode, fetch sightings, filter for birds with tips, and voilà! Birds near you now in real time appear faster than you can say “binoculars.”
Behind the Curtain
Our secret sauce is the eBird API, an ever‑updating fire hose of sightings collected by millions of birders and curated by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Think of it as a pocket‑sized field guide that auto‑refreshes. We tap that data stream the moment you hit Search Birds, so your results are as fresh as this morning’s chirp. If the instant intel makes your heart flutter, send a little thank‑you to the Cornell Lab; a small donation keeps their binoculars (and servers) focused on powering adventures like yours.
