Hi Geo,

   No, breeding-code information is a standard part of the most widely-used 
pre-packaged distribution of eBird data, the eBird Basic Dataset (EBD).  You 
can't call up this information on the eBird website, if I'm not mistaken, but 
then I wouldn't recommend using website output to do anything major in regard 
to research or management anyway.  Instead, the most appropriate thing to do 
would be to request access (always granted, for free) to the pre-bundled data 
in the EBD.  The EBD packages are rather large (i.e. you're not going to load 
it into Excel), but with some fairly basic large-data-management experience, 
one can pull out all of the breeding code information that's available without 
much effort.

During the last NYS Breeding Bird Atlas period (2000-2005), field workers who 
submitted breeding records for Threatened species or species of Special Concern 
were subsequently asked to provide DEC with additional information (locations).

Is it true that eBird has not yet implemented data output for breeding records? 
If so, does this mean that a land management entity like DEC or the US Forest 
Service can't just consult eBird for Confirmed or Probable breeding locations 
of Threatened or Special Concern species that might be impacted by management, 
but instead has to make special requests? Do management planners routinely make 
such requests? 

I ask this because in my area (Danby/Newfield) I've seen several recent DEC 
actions that look like they could easily have been modified if location 
information had been available.
