Tools & capabilities
Ebird tools 5
recent_observationsRecent bird sightings in a region. region_code is the eBird identifier — countries are 2-letter ("US", "GB"), states "US-CA", counties "US-CA-075", and birding hotspots use the "L<id>" code from eBird (e.g., "L99381"). Optionally filter to one species.recent_notableOnly notable (rare / out-of-range / first-of-season) sightings in a region. Sometimes the most interesting subset.nearby_observationsRecent BIRD sightings within a radius of a given latitude/longitude — eBird is a birds-only database and needs numeric lat/lon coordinates (not a place name). Useful for "what birds are around this location right now."find_speciesSearch the eBird taxonomy by common or scientific name. Returns the eBird species code needed by the observation tools.list_subregionsChild regions of a parent. region_type is "country", "subnational1" (states/provinces), or "subnational2" (counties). parent_region_code uses eBird codes ("world", "US", "US-CA").
