Avian Data Explorer

Every species as a bubble sized by body mass — pick what the x-axis, y-axis, and color mean and watch clusters and outliers glide into place, or jump straight to a hand-picked story.

Open →

Explore every record and field in the BIRDS_BASE_DATA table.

Open →

A radial visualization of diet, habitat, body mass, and conservation status for every species.

Open →

Compare the relative mass of every species with min–max weight bars for females, males, and unsexed birds — then switch to the Sexual Dimorphism tab to see how, and by how much, males and females diverge in size.

Open →

See how body mass shapes a bird's breeding life — clutch size, incubation, fledging, broods, and productivity — with a brushable scatter plot.

Open →

Watch 25 years of fall raptor counts from a real hawk-watch site (Illinois Beach State Park Hawkwatch) unfold season by season, in an animated Gapminder-style trend chart.

Open →

Brush across body mass, habitat breadth, diet breadth, and specialization (ESI) to see how generalists and specialists trace different paths through every species' ecological profile — then switch to the Habitat ↔ Diet Flow tab for an illustrated Sankey diagram of which habitats and diets pair up most.

Open →

A force-directed graph of how social, mating, nesting, and movement behaviors cluster together across species — drag a node to explore its neighborhood and see which traits travel as a package.
