My eBird stats for the US. The very top number is my total species seen and total checklists done. This is followed by the species I've seen this year-to-date, as well as my previous YTD and total. Finally my species month-to-date are shown, compared to the previous April.
How is 2025 going for other birders? 2 more species and I'll have already surpassed my total count for last year!
