Interactions with an eBird Reviewer

If an eBird Reviewer reaches out to contact you to verify one of your sightings, look at it as an opportunity to learn status, distribution, and ID of local birds.

Reviewer's Role:

• eBird reviewers are volunteers who are knowledgeable about the birds in their review area. 

• They play a crucial role in ensuring the eBird database remains reliable and accurate for science and conservation. 

• They help users make sure their records and checklists are accurate. 

Tips for a Positive Interaction:

• Respond positively and promptly to a reviewer's comments. 

• Remember that reviewers are volunteers and may have busy lives. 

• Be open to feedback and learn from their expertise.
