Hey everyone, I’ve got a question and am hoping the community has some ideas. Is there a way to export Merlin’s Life List at all?

My husband and I have been birding amateruly for 2 years now. We’ve heard almost 150 different birds in that time. I was browsing the life list this morning, remembering how we started, and how a couple of internarional vacations are VERY clearly identified! I’d love to be able to visualise this adventure we’ve been on together!

Can I export this, or am I better off copying it over manually? Help me jedi of c/birding, you’re my only hope!

    Merlin and eBird are linked. You should be able to log into eBird using the same username or email address and password. I would suggest doing this on the web, because the website has a lot more options than the eBird app (but the app is great for when you’re out birding!)

    Then you can export your data from eBird. Here’s some info about how to do that: https://support.ebird.org/en/support/solutions/articles/48000794682-my-ebird

    I now only track my sightings in eBird. When I get a new species, it shows up on my Merlin life list as well, which is handy for field identification. While eBird can be a little intimidating to start using, they have some good tutorials online, and the data you submit contributes to real research, which is awesome.
