Birding Archives

There are multiple ways to access reports and photos of birding activity in Kentucky. These include the KOS sponsored Birdky LISTSERV, the KOS Flikr Photo Gallery, and eBird data provided by Cornell University.

eBird

Most birders are likely very familiar with eBird, which is a multifaceted resourse provided by Cornell University and The Cornell Lab of Ornithology. One way to describe eBird is that it is a vast database of bird sightings from all over the globe. Searches, reports and downloads can provide information about specific locations like Kentucky. To access this data you will need an eBird account and a bit of effort to find what you want. Visit https://ebird.org for more information.
