Web Headquarters of Jane Hadley

Birder's Dashboard - Terrific Web site displays bird sightings for the last 1 to 30 days for species or locations you choose. The webapp also highlights notable sightings for areas or locations you select.

Note: There are individual versions of the website for Washington State (both desktop and cell phone versions) and for US/Canada (both desktop and cellphone versions). Othewise, go with the world version at the main website page.

• Washington State desktop version
• Washington State mobile version
• US & Canada desktop version
• US & Canada mobile version

Birder's Dashboard is Randy Robinson's creation. It's really helpful for birders to know what's being seen at particular places or to find out where a particular species is being seen. It's free to all, no ads, no signup, no cookies or data collection. The website gets its sightings from Cornell University Lab of Ornithology's eBird website.

Latest Accomplishment!

I've created an app that will give you a bird species checklist for any county in the United States. The checklist is of all species ever recorded in the county that have been reported to Cornell University Lab of Ornithology's wonderful eBird site, to which millions of sightings are reported every year. The checklist is alphabetized and paginated for printing out. Choose between two formats. You can find it at: Bird checklist for any U.S. county

A 2017 Accomplishment!

We've put A Birder's Guide to Washington 2nd Ed. online! Birders can now get and give current information online about birding spots all over the state! Please share your observations and experiences of birding spots mentioned in the book with other birders. And find out what's going on at a site you might want to bird!
