When you enter a checklist in eBird, we always encourage you to be as precise a possible when you plot your location. The reason for this is because precise locations allow us to accurately link the location with datasets, like those of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Distributed Active Archive Center. The collaboration between the Cornell Lab and Oak Ridge to combine eBird data with NASA satellite imagery is highlighted in the 2011 NASA Earth Science Data Systems Yearbook and may be viewed at the link below.
