eBird Rare Bird Web Site to Replace BirdTrax

[Stephen Mirick]

Several birders out there have been using my web tool to find Rare Birds
reported on eBird.  This neat little tool I made with BirdTrax was very
useful for getting a quick glimpse of Rare Birds being reported to eBird
in MA, NH or ME.  It's been working for a couple of years, but
unfortunately, the original developer (BirdTrax) stopped development and
I did my best to keep up with changes in eBird/Google that broke the
code.  Finally I couldn't make it work anymore and it died over a month ago.

Ed Norton has taken the concept and developed his own tool which is an
excellent replacement.  Again, a very handy tool for finding out about
rare birds being reported. Works well with a cell phone or on a laptop
or iPad.

The tool, nicknamed "WhereDaBirds" pulls out eBird Rare Birds for NH,
MA, and ME with quick links to each State.  You can bookmark any link
below depending on your preferred default State:

http://birding.iblogger.org/#MA

http://birding.iblogger.org/#ME

http://birding.iblogger.org/#NH

Thanks to Ed for his nice work!

Hi all,

Trying to catch up on correspondence while sitting at an airport...

For those who used the BirdTrax on our website for Maine eBird sightings, we have replaced it with Bird Observer’s county-based version for Maine rarities. You can bookmark our site (also included a Facebook window for our sightings without actually using Facebook), or the direct link to Bird Observer.

For another option, anyway.

Anyone else getting domain ads instead of MA, ME and NH sightings? This was working great until a few days ago. I LOVED birdtax and WHEREDABIRDS was even better. Maybe it phone.

Just checked myself and am getting a fake update flash page.

It does at least have a statement at the bottom which disclaims association with adobe flash but I suspect I would be targeted with ads or something worse if I clicked on update.

Updated info, at least it works for me.

WHEREDABIRDS is at https://www.birdfinder.net/

The links to individual states in Steve Mirick's email were to "birding.iblogger .org". They lead to a malware page now.

https://www.birdfinder.net/#ME works fine.
