Hi Susan!
It appears that the ebird.org site is down across the United States. I'm not entirely sure if they're doing site maintenance, or if there's a bigger issue that they're trying to sort out at the moment. I guess we'll have to sit tight and see what happens.

The birds are happy, and so am I

Hey Susan and Caleb,

I'm able to access every portion of eBird.org I just tried (online/app checklist submission, data outputs, reviewer site, etc.)

Perhaps this is local to a few of eBird's servers, or perhaps there is something on an individual user level. I'm not technically savvy enough to provide more than a yea/nay on eBird access.

Best,

I've also noticed that eBird's location pages have been more than 24 hours out of date for several weeks now. They're often more than 40 hours out of date.  It's made my morning perusal of eBird far less useful.  I used to check Boulder County's eBird page every morning to see what was being seen.  I hope eBird can get back to updating faster. 

BTW, the delay seems to be the same for eBird pages for all US areas.  I've tried viewing several counties and states, and they all seem to be 30-40 hours out of date.

It's working again, at least for me!

Hi Susan,

I was not able to enter my mobile eBird report. I got a message that it was in the incorrect format. I entered the list on my iPad at home and it was accepted.

Yes, they are experiencing a service outage. Can still use mobile app to create a list, but may have to wait to submit

I'm wondering if there is some sort of Ransomware attack.
