We briefly discuss different methods used to identify HI shells in TB datacubes. Then we give results for our automatic method applied to LDS and LAB HI surveys of the Milky Way (2nd and 3rd quadrants). We fit the radial distribution of HI shells (the exponential profile with the scale length of 3 kpc) and the size distribution (the power law with the index of 2.1). We compare the distribution of identified HI shells with HII regions and study the differences between identifications in the 2nd and 3rd quadrants.
