Six remarkable birds.
One Monday email.

What's inside

  • Six notable species for your chosen region: rarities, birds far out of range, and unusual runs, each with the location, date, and count as reported.
  • A live map link for every bird, so one click shows everywhere it has been reported in the past week.
  • The eBird checklist behind each report, because the original record is always the authoritative one.

Editions cover the whole U.S. plus the Northeast, Midwest, South, and West. Pick as many as you like; each arrives as its own email.

The honest fine print

Sightings come from eBird, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's citizen-science database, and reflect what birders reported, not a population survey. Flockline only phrases what the verified records already say; it never invents a sighting. The methodology page spells out how to read the data.
