Your birding notes are essential to biologists!
Tallying the species and number of individuals you see while birding is important not only for your personal records, but your lists are valuable to track birds throughout the country. The National Audubon Society and the Cornell University Lab of Ornithology encourage birders to report their sightings.

EBird: Enter your data at http://www.ebird.org. Login is easy. Ebird not only allows scientists to monitor nationwide bird populations, but it also keeps track of your sightings for you. Entering your lists is especially vital for Important Bird Areas (such as the State Botanical Garden) since the Audubon Society is interested in the birds that occur there. You can also find lists for birding hotspots in Georgia and nationwide on this site!
