NaturalistTripper

Chase the species you want most. Search a spot, area, trail, or target across millions of iNaturalist, eBird & GBIF sightings — ranked and ready to map.

Find wildlife before you go.

NaturalistTripper turns millions of community observations into a real trip plan — for birders, botanists, herpers, mushroom hunters, and anyone who travels to see living things.

FOUR WAYS TO PLAN • Pin — drop a point and search a radius around it. • Area — draw a polygon over the zone you'll actually cover. • Route — import a GPX, KML, or GeoJSON trail (or pull from Maps directions) and see what's been seen along it. • Target — pick a species and find its density hotspots anywhere.

BACKED BY REAL OBSERVATIONS Three of the largest community science datasets in one map: • iNaturalist — millions of verified species observations • eBird — bird sightings from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology • GBIF — global biodiversity records

EVERY OBSERVATION IS RANKED Recency, verifier count, and research-grade status are weighted into a confidence score so you spend your time on sightings that actually mean something.

MULTI-STOP TRIPS Chain your saved plans into a single itinerary with a combined species view across every stop — a road trip across hotspots in one shared list.

CONDITIONS AT A GLANCE Sunrise, sunset, civil dusk, and moon phase for the day and place you're planning — because dawn light changes everything.

WANTLIST Star the species you most want to see. Sightings that match your wantlist get priority in results and trigger optional alerts.
