"I built this site because this is the precise workflow that I would do each and every time I'd go to a new place to look for birds."
I'd head to eBird, use the map to find hotspots near me, and then manually go through recent checklists looking for birds that I wanted to find. Often I was trying to create a target list for my partner or a guide so we could keep an eye out for certain species. It was time consuming and inefficient.
So I created this app to help me — and others — find birds (especially lifers) near where they are, or where they want to go. Whether you're planning a trip to the Andes, scouting a new patch before dawn, or just curious what's been spotted in your backyard lately, My Next Lifer brings all of that information together in one place.
I welcome any and all feedback, and I hope you find this site as useful as I do. Happy birding!
