Ohio birders have added several shared bird reporting hotspots to eBird. http://ohioebirdhotspots.wikispaces.com/ New: Here is a tip on how to get a “life list” of all the birds you have reported to eBird at a personal location, such as your backyard. http://ohioebirdhotspots.wikispaces.com/Location+Life+List Two new Ohio Birding Drives have been added. http://ohioebirdhotspots.wikispaces.com/Ohio+Birding+Drives Birding drives have been developed for some of Ohio’s “under birded” areas, hoping to encourage birders to visit these counties when they are traveling in Ohio. There are 28 Ohio counties with fewer than 1000 eBird checklists submitted. Here are the newest birding drives.
