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.
