EOD - eBird Observation Dataset

The eBird Citizen Science Project is a real-time, on line checklist program launched in 2002 by the
Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society. The observations of each volunteer participant
join those of others creating a database of international avian observation events. The dataset contains
count data for bird species observed by novice and experienced bird observers alike. Aggregated observation
data is available for non-commercial research purposes. eBird data can be used to document the presence or absence of avian species, as well as abundance
and distribution at a variety of spatial and temporal scales. The dataset includes spatial, and
temporal parameters describing the observation event. The data collection is static, updated annually

eBird公民科学项目（eBird Citizen Science Project）是由康奈尔鸟类学实验室（Cornell Lab of Ornithology）与全国奥杜邦协会（National Audubon Society）于2002年发起的实时在线观鸟记录项目。每位志愿者参与者的观测记录将与其他参与者的数据汇聚整合，构建起覆盖全球的鸟类观测事件数据库。该数据集涵盖了新手与资深观鸟者记录的各类鸟类物种计数数据。经聚合的观测数据可用于非商业性研究用途。eBird数据可用于记录鸟类物种的存在与缺失，同时可反映多空间与时间尺度下的种群丰度与分布格局。本数据集包含用于描述单次观测事件的空间与时间参数。该数据集为静态存储，按年度更新。
