Global EBird (1 Viewer)

I saw today that EBird is finally going global in the next 2 weeks (previously it was just in the Americas). I'm sure this will be of interest to birders around the world.
If you don't know what it is, it's basically a way of entering what birds you see, anywhere at anytime, and being able to view the data from everyone's observations in many ways. For example:
http://ebird.org/ebird/GuideMe?repo...=states&continue.x=62&continue.y=3&continue=t

Apparently they need help in making checklists for the rest of the world.

I strongly encourage everyone to participate in the eBird database, if they take good field notes.

Me to.

However, if you have already participated in efforts such as worldbird and presumably, dofbase in Denmark, it probably will not be necessary to re-enter the observations. There is a collaboration called Avian Knowledge Network that at least for the new world is intended to collect data from all sources and allow combined analysis of it.
