eBird Pro Tip: Mobile Quick Entry
Probably the best part about eBird Mobile is quick entry. At the top of any active checklist, there is a text field. Type a number, a space, and part of a bird's name (or four-letter quick code), and then tap on the correct search result to add that number to that species. Learn more about quick entry.
