hi
I am not familiar working with google maps;
can you register 2 sites for me for the world shorebird day:-
– Laverton creek mouth (-37.878798, 144.807329)
– Truganina swamp (-37.868265, 144.802006)
i’d like to promote it on the local birding website
n am wondering if you can run thru’ the guidelines for diy registering?
i can’t see an option that enable any keyboard entry;
also are we to enter the data with ebird?
finally, you guys are doing a great job n love the sketches
thanks – lai
Thanks for your comment. 🙂 I will make necessary changes in the guideline tonight.
Can you give instructions on how to register a spot? I can’t figure it out either, and tried the Register link but that was to register for a wordpress domain which I do not want! I don’t use twitter or all the other icon stuff.
Do you know how to use Google Maps? You just have to add your locations. No other registration needed!
I still don’t see directions on how to register a site. I found a way yesterday, bouncing between googlemaps for coordinates and some page from this site to put in city, location name, etc. Today I can’t find that site, and I need to correct the name of one location I put in yesterday. But everything takes me to wordpress, not to the shorebird registration. So, if you care to make the changes, what is registered, I think, from yesterday, is Ben T Campbell beach. That should read Ben T Davis Beach. And I want to add another location, Cypress Point Park, Tampa, FL. I will be submitting ebird lists for a total of 5 locations, for 4 people. I’ll put WorldShoreBirdDay in the share list of ebird, and hope that you get the info, because I find this site woefully inadequate in instructions.

Which part do you think is woefully inadequate? Never heard any complaints about it from any of the hundreds of participants. I think it is ridiculously simple. Anyway, I’m happy to help.
Is there a list of the included species to report? Greetings

When is the cut off date for the data submission?
I couldn’t figure how to register but Gary and I surveyed Bahia Honda yesterday. How do we send in the results?
Hello Susan,
Registration and details are available on this page.
Data sharing process under this link
I hope this helps. I’m looking forward to seeing your data. Thanks for participating. 🙂
Hello,
I registered but my planned birding location (Cowsprings Lake, AZ near Tonalea, AZ) is not showing up on the site map.
Lonnie Pilkington
I think you have to go to the Google map and put that location on the map!

Couldn’t get to Haven Beach in Mathews County, Virginia, U.S.A. Got Bethel Beach and all my other spots in Virginia.
If you want to promote people counting shorebirds,
and you use eBird for all your counting,
you should have a special portal or page
on your website that,
shows a persons rank in the total list of people with most shorebirds counted
by state or country, etc.

Fellow Birder,
If you change your eBird Sighting for the Pony Pasture in RIchmond, Virginia from location “James River Park — Pony Pasture Section” to “James River Park — Pony Pasture”,
it will all have the correct location.

This will enable us to delete the wrong location. The location is now listed as “Wrong Location – Use James River Park — Wetlands”
Meant to say the location is now listed as Wrong Location – James RIver Park – Pony pasture.
