eBird is one of the world\u2019s leading citizen science platforms, developed by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Its use actively contributes to global bird knowledge through the participation of thousands of observers who upload checklists, photographs, audio recordings, and videos. All of this material becomes part of the Macaulay Library, one of the largest multimedia biodiversity collections in the world, whose data are used by specialists to generate scientific models and analyze patterns of abundance, distribution, and migration.<\/p>\n
In Cuba, Nils serves as an eBird editor and reviewer, a fully volunteer role focused on ensuring the quality and reliability of the information incorporated into the platform. Among his main responsibilities are updating species and regional filters, reviewing and editing \u201cHot Spots,\u201d and annually updating the list of common bird names used in the country.<\/p>\n
His day-to-day work is centered on record validation. eBird operates with a filtering system that detects unusual observations or rare species, automatically generating alerts. These reports are then reviewed, and at that stage contact is established with users to request additional information that helps confirm the validity of the records.<\/p>\n
Through this work, Nils has made a significant contribution to strengthening the birdwatching community in Cuba. By generating educational content, providing ongoing guidance, and actively supporting the movement, he has helped increase the number of users on the island and, consequently, improve both the quantity and quality of information available on Cuban avifauna.<\/p>\n

eBird es una de las principales plataformas de ciencia ciudadana a nivel mundial, desarrollada por Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Su uso contribuye activamente al conocimiento de las aves a escala global, gracias a la participaci\u00f3n de miles de observadores que registran sus listas, fotograf\u00edas, audios y videos. Todo este contenido pasa a formar parte de la Macaulay Library, una de las mayores colecciones multimedia sobre biodiversidad, cuyos datos son utilizados por especialistas para generar modelos cient\u00edficos y analizar patrones de abundancia, distribuci\u00f3n y migraci\u00f3n. En Cuba, Nils se desempe\u00f1a como editor y revisor de eBird, una labor completamente voluntaria orientada a garantizar la calidad y confiabilidad de la informaci\u00f3n que se incorpora a la plataforma. Entre sus principales responsabilidades se encuentran la actualizaci\u00f3n de los filtros por especies y regiones, la revisi\u00f3n y edici\u00f3n de los \u201cHot spots\u201d, as\u00ed como la actualizaci\u00f3n anual de la lista de nombres comunes de las aves del pa\u00eds. Su trabajo cotidiano se centra en la validaci\u00f3n de registros. eBird cuenta con un sistema de filtros que detecta observaciones inusuales o especies poco frecuentes, generando alertas autom\u00e1ticas. Estos reportes pasan a revisi\u00f3n, y es entonces cuando se establece contacto con los usuarios para solicitar informaci\u00f3n adicional que permita confirmar la validez de los datos. Gracias a esta labor, Nils ha contribuido de manera significativa al fortalecimiento de la comunidad de observadores de aves en Cuba. A trav\u00e9s de la generaci\u00f3n de contenidos, la asesor\u00eda constante y el acompa\u00f1amiento al movimiento, ha impulsado el crecimiento del n\u00famero de usuarios en la isla y, con ello, el volumen y la calidad de la informaci\u00f3n disponible sobre la avifauna cubana. <\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7242,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5729","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-en-curso"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nilsbirding.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5729","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nilsbirding.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nilsbirding.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nilsbirding.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nilsbirding.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5729"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/nilsbirding.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5729\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7243,"href":"https:\/\/nilsbirding.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5729\/revisions\/7243"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nilsbirding.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7242"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nilsbirding.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5729"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nilsbirding.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5729"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nilsbirding.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5729"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
