 Post Your Bird Sightings

 

Members of the Houston Audubon Citizen Science Committee encourage you to post bird sightings from the park—even a modest list of common birds—on  eBirds and TexBirds

The posting of the data attracts the attention of the birding and environmental communities to the West 11th Street Park, increasing our number of park supporters and helping in our efforts to preserve this wonderful site as a  permanent City of Houston Nature Park.
 

Here are the links:

 

TexBirds http://listserv.uh.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A0=TEXBIRDS
 

eBird:        http://www.ebird.org/go/eBirdReports?cmd=Start

 

On TexBirds, you have to subscribe to post sightings, but the process is relatively painless.  For an example of a West 11th Street bird list, check the TexBirds Archive for an entry on July 17, specifically,
 

http://listserv.uh.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0607&L=texbirds&T=0&P=27213.
 

(No need to subscribe to check out the archives.)

 

eBird is a project developed by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the Audubon Society to promote better data recording and knowledge of North American birds.  The West 11th Street Park has already won a place on eBird as one of the Texas birding "Hot Spots."  (But note that it is listed simply as "11th Street Park.")
