We are 4 graduate students studying data science at Northeastern University in Boston, MA. Currently, we are working on a project to enhance eBird using its data. Our primary goal is to improve the birding experience, especially for those new to the hobby. Feedback from birders, both new and seasoned, is instrumental to our work.
