Billions of birds die each year due to human-related causes, including cat predation, bird-window collisions, and entanglement in fishing lines or other trash. The vast majority of these deaths are not documented.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step by step guide to using dBird<\/h4>\n

Open your web browser and go to https:\/\/dbird.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Location” open=”on” open_toggle_text_color=”#000000″ icon_color=”#0A3C23″ toggle_icon=”"||divi||400″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FAF5F0″ background_enable_color=”on” global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_text_color=”#000000″ toggle_level=”h4″ toggle_font=”–et_global_heading_font||||||||”]<\/p>\n

Drop a pin to indicate where you found the dead or injured bird by clicking or tapping once on the map. Zoom in or out by using the + or – buttons in the top left corner of the map frame, by using the scroll wheel on your mouse, or on touch screens by stretching apart or pinching together two fingers. You may also enter a city, state, or address in the address bar. If you are using dBird on a smart phone with location services enabled, you can use the “Get Location” button in the top right corner of the map frame and dBird will automatically drop a pin at your current location. To change the location of the pin, click or tap elsewhere on the map.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>Provide species, age, and sex information about the bird. If you are uncertain about any of these details, it is best to select “unknown.” Uploading a photo of the bird will help dBird administrators complete unknown data fields.<\/p>\n

Indicate when you found the bird, whether it was dead or injured, and the cause of death\/injury if known.<\/p>\n
