How can I delete my nest site, nesting attempt, or nest visit?

First, note that your data live in your account, so deleting any data from your account will also delete it in our database. Only delete this data if you are sure it is erroneous – there is no way to recover deleted data. If you simply wish to remove old or unused nest sites from your map, please use the archive option. Archiving nests saves the data in our database, but allows for a cleaner map view.

Then, navigate to the correct nesting attempt. If there are no nest visits listed for that nesting attempt, you’ll see the option to “delete attempt” underneath the “edit attempt” button.
