This website was created as a resource for everything birding in Santa Barbara County. The goal is
simply to promote the activity of field birding in the county and to provide information to interested
birders. If you have comments about this website or would like more information about local birding,

New to eBird in 2026 are two highly-requested community-sourced features:
Hotspot About pages and Hotspot Groups. Together, they transform eBird Hotspots into a rich, collaborative resource that captures not just what birds you might find, but how to make the most of each visit. Each About page is organized into three content sections that you can contribute to: Plan Your Visit, How to Bird Here, and About This Place. The group overview’s About page covers information for the entire area, while individual hotspots display their own location-specific content including navigation, iconic birds, and habitat photos.
