Birder’s Diary export to eBird is released!

We are pleased to announce that the Birder’s Diary eBird Toolkit has been released. The utility, written by Gerco Hoogeweg, allows users to exchange bird observations between Birder’s Diary and eBird. The toolkit allows you to create eBird Record Format (extended) files for import into eBird and you can create Birder’s Diary import files from eBird observation reports. To make stored observations useful to eBird, the toolkit includes a comprehensive interface that allows you to specify how you were birding (protocols). Information for each birding adventure can be updated in a similar fashion as if you were entering your observations directly into eBird. Also, the toolkit automatically checks if your location is an eBird hotspot!
