An experimental interface to eBird has been added to mou bird reporting. After
birds have been entered into the seasonal report interface, a button is
available at the bottom of the page that indicates:
EXPERIMENTAL: To submit these sightings to eBird, click on
Clicking on this button sends the report on to eBird.
Everyone can use this interface but you must first have an account on eBird.
You can register with eBird at http://ebird.org.
Since eBird uses a concept of birding location as "hotspots", the entry form
for seasonal reports has added an autocomplete field for "location". If you
are birding in Hennepin County, for example, type "bas" brings up a selection
that includes:
Minnesota Valley NWR--Bass Ponds,44.84479,-93.23007
Personal locations can be added by typing in the location name
Cahlander's House
clicking on the button "Location" and selecting a point registers this location
as a personal hotspot for this county. This location is saved and will appear
when part of the name appears. (for example: type "ca")
This is experimental, some problems may occur. Please let me know if you try
out this feature and if it is of any use to you. Be sure to report any
problems.
Thanks.
