Recreational birding is a popular activity in the United States. To assess the spatial distribution of recreational birding in the southeast, we combined two data sources: eBird (Sullivan et al. 2009) and the National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-associated Recreation (NSFHWAR; US Department of Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, and Department of Commerce 2011). We used spatial birding data from eBird to distribute the state-level NSFHWAR birding data by county and land protection status. This information was used to identify priority counties for conservation of birding areas. These are counties with a high level of birding activity where at least 90% of birding activity takes place on unprotected...

Recreational birding is a popular activity in the United States. To assess the spatial distribution of recreational birding activity in the southeastern U.S., we used eBird observations (a citizen science dataset showing where birding activity occurs) and total bird activity estimates from the National Survey for Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation. This spreadsheet provides the total number of eBird observations and birding days from NSFHWAR for each state in the study area, and the conversion factors used to convert from eBird observations to birding days.

We used spatial birding data from eBird to distribute the state-level NSFHWAR birding data by watershed (HUC 8) and land protection status. This information was used to identify priority watersheds for conservation of birding areas. These are watersheds with a high level of birding activity where at least 90% of birding activity takes place...
