## Owls Near Me

https://www.owlsnearme.com/

A website that tells you where your nearest owls are!

This is a re-imagining of the original `owlsnearyou.com`, which launched way

back in January 2010 (it's now a website about lawyers). This new version uses

2018-era web technology and pulls its data from

[iNaturalist](https://www.inaturalist.org/).

It's built as a single page React application that loads all of its data from

the iNaturalist API. You can use it to find your nearest owls via browser

geolocation or you can search for a place and see the owls that have been

spotted in or around that location.

Built by [Natalie Downe](https://twitter.com/natbat) and [Simon Willison](https://twitter.com/simonw). Favicon by [Cindy Li](https://twitter.com/cindyli).

Technology used:

* React, using [create-react-app](https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app)

  (hence also Babel, Webpack and much other open-source JavaScript goodness)

* [The iNaturalist API](https://api.inaturalist.org/v1/docs/)

* [Leaflet](http://leafletjs.com/) for maps, using

  [react-leaflet](https://github.com/PaulLeCam/react-leaflet)

* [axios](https://github.com/axios/axios) for our API requests
