BirdBase Export to eBird Now Available!

Peter Bono has written and made available a new BirdBase utility, called BB2eBird, that allows users to export BirdBase sightings records to eBird. As with the AviSys announcement just last week, we have worked closely with Peter on this process. Sightings of many trips -- some of which were entered in BirdBase with no idea that they would later be used by a project such as eBird -- can be uploaded in one operation, saving lots of time. We thank Peter and Bob Eisberg of Santa Barbara Software Products for their commitment to the citizen science goals of eBird, and, of course, we look forward to receiving lots of historical sightings data from BirdBase users everywhere!

BirdBase users may download a copy of the BB2eBird shareware utility from the BirdBase web site at http://birdbase.com/bulletin-board.htm.  The BB2eBird Users Manual is available online at http://birdbase.com/bb2ebird.htm.

As always we're here to provide support for the eBird side of the process if needed. We look forward to harnessing the power of the BirdBase user's data and to synthesizing it through the eBird database.
