Help > AKN eBird Observers List Released

The new AKN eBird Components for Science Pipes include a filter that allows you to exclude all AKN eBird data except that coming from a specific observer. However, this filter works only if you know exactly the right way to phrase the text of observer name. Within the eBird data for AKN, observers are encoded with first name, last name, and an observer number formatted like "Paul Allen 866". Even if you are an eBirder, you probably don't know the number that eBird has assigned you. So, we have provided a list of eBird observer names that you can use to find your AKN-formatted observer name and use it with this filter.

The list is a simple text file that you can download and search to find observer names to use in the AKN Observer filter. Download the list to find valid eBird AKN observer names.
