eBird

eBird is the bird-observation platform referenced in Episode 18: 感官放大世界：和任宁聊观鸟、自然与自由 as an example of how birdwatchers can turn personal lists into Citizen Science data. The episode describes bird lists as records of place, date, time, species, and quantity, sometimes extended with behavior, habitat, and writerly detail.

In the source, eBird also represents the game-like side of observation platforms: rankings, badges, and reviewer checks can motivate participation while requiring evidence for unusual records. That makes it a bridge between Birdwatching As Attention and formal research infrastructure.

Connections

• Citizen Science - core data-contribution pattern.
• Birdwatching As Attention - personal observation practice that feeds platform records.
• 任宁 / Ren Ning - source voice describing bird lists and records.
• AI Recognition Bias - adjacent issue because platform records and photos can become training or verification material.
