Re: [nysbirds-l] ebird question, video posting

Thanks for all the answers.  Looks like ebird has a select list of those who can post videos. So I uploaded the video to one of my web sites, and put a link in the ebird report.  Here's the video of the colorful Dickcissel doing sweet little "whits".  Is it calling to nearby fledglings?  (Croto

Then what is the procedure to upload a valuable addition to the record?  And why does the ebird documentation say one can upload MP4? Bob Lewis On Sunday, August 8, 2021, 10:30:09 AM EDT, Joshua Malbin wrote: I’m fairly sure most people do not get to upload videos. On Sun, Aug 8, 202

Hi all, Another option, though somewhat cumbersome, is to look at your day list for the date of the CBC. To do this, click on the "Sightings Lists" link underneath the "Explore My..." list on the left side of the main My eBird page. Here's a link to the lists page: https://ebird.org/MyEBird?cmd=

Hey Nancy, The summarize feature is not gone permanently - eBird is transitioning all of its ancient pages to a new format and it is supposed to return within the year, but it could indeed pose a challenge for the CBCs if it isn’t fast-tracked. I am not sure what the most elegant solution for CBC
