I just found this: http://www.stateofthebirds.org/
It seems to be an annual report that this year centers on bird distributions on "Public Lands and Waters". The cool thing is this quote stressing how important everyday bird watchers submitting their observations to Ebird is for this kind of publication:

Thank You to eBird Volunteers
Our understanding of bird distributions has greatly improved thanks
to the thousands of bird watchers who have contributed observations to
eBird (www.eBird.org). This effort is especially important for tracking
seasonal and fine-scale changes in bird distributions, which is not possible
with other bird-monitoring programs. However, even this massive
observation network provides only imperfect information for assessing
the year-round status of birds on many remote public lands across the
U.S., including Alaska, Hawai`i, and island territories. We urge birders
to submit more observations to eBird from public refuges, parks, forests,
and wilderness areas. We also urge agencies to support the submission
of current and historical records to eBird and other data archives.
cheers
Niels
