Description

This interactive web application allows users to submit and view wading bird sightings in Everglades National Park. The app features a dynamic map where users can explore points of interest, filter sightings by species and date, and contribute their own observations. The project leverages modern web technologies to provide an engaging and user-friendly experience for bird enthusiasts and researchers.

This project was created as part of my coursework at the University of Wisconsin-Madison for GEOG 777 and does not represent the views of my employer.
