Great post Ted, I'm interested in how CBRC treats submissions to ebird.org which is generally my favored way of contributing to avifauna data. The ebird database is building an incredible depository of bird trends and general data across the US and now an ever growing number of world locations.
If CBRC uses ebird submissions, it there a way to make these submissions more effective? Hopefully more people will use ebird. It's really quite fun, and your sightings add to bird knowledge and not locked away in a personal journal. But if not, alas, that is birding, the ways of participating are as varied as the birds themselves! Ted - thank you for cracking the whip!
