What is AviAtlas ?

Aviatlas is a free website for exploring and sharing information about birding hotspots around the world. Think of it as a map-based wiki for birding hotspots. It provides birders the opportunity to explore and edit hotspot descriptions, photographs, recent visits and sightings anywhere in the world.

Ways to Use

Plan your birding trips; Document your sightings; Develop your favorite hotspot bar-graphs; Share your wealth of localized knowledge; Connect with other birders; and Document & Share your adventures.

Why Participate

Aviatlas provides numerous rewarding birding tools to compliment our hobby. With the wiki setup there is an opportunity to both learn and share local information like never before. On top of this, Aviatlas records all data in a scientifically rigorous manner to insure it's usefulness for future research and studies.

About Us

Aviatlas was founded by Eva Baird and Aaron Floyd in 2007 in an effort to build a free online community to document birding hotspots around the world. The roots of the project developed in the adventure atmosphere of the Blue Ridge Birders in SW Virginia. Currently the project is located in Tucson, Arizona where it's core users are constantly collaborating to improve the functions of Aviatlas.
