A birding session, from first sighting to lasting record.
Complement, don't replace
eBird is excellent at shared checklists and community science. Feathers focuses on the personal layer around those sightings: precise coordinates, tags, notes, media, and session context.
That means you do not have to choose between contributing data to a larger community and keeping the fuller story of your own birding life.
Feathers includes a built-in path for turning your records into eBird-ready output, so keeping a richer personal archive does not mean adding friction when you want to submit your sightings.
