Field notes
Fieldmark begins by having a birder drop a pin on a personally meaningful patch, then uses nearby eBird reports to populate a map whose species markers vary with reported frequency. Individual entries combine hand-made portraits with behavior, diet, nesting, and seasonal timing. The homepage displays 287 species and an Außenalster example containing five named birds, including Eisvogel and Schleiereule. Access is presented as forthcoming, with an email waitlist for joining a patch.
