About

This platform shows the most important locations for 7 priority shorebird species in Texas using an approach developed by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in collaboration with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The approach identifies Bird Concentration Areas (BCAs) that support a high abundance and/or diversity of species using publicly available data products from the eBird Status and Trends project. This visualization platform summarizes species-level information for the 7 priority species and group-level BCAs. All work was funded by the Knobloch Family Foundation.
