Observado datas to Ebird? (2 Viewers)

[Christophe Legrand]

Hello,
I am an Observado user for years, and I am having a look at ebird. I would like to know if someone gets a tip to transfer all my observado datas into ebird? I cannot consider to start again from zero if I make the step to get into ebird…
Thanks a lot in advance ;-)

One way to do this would be to download the free Scythebill program. From the FAQ:

You can import from eBird, from BirdTrack, from Avisys (popular Windows software), from BirdBase, from Birder's Diary, from Bird Brain, from HBW Alive, from observado.org, from BirdLasser, from Wildlife Recorder, iNaturalist, from the various Ornitho websites,

and

In a heartbeat, you can export all of your data in eBird or Scythebill CSV formats.

Disclaimer: I have never used observado or tried importing from there, but the person behind Scythebill is really helpful and he is also a member here in Birdforum.

Looks to be exactly what I need!
Thanks for this fast answer Niels.

Yeah, I'm happy to have Scythebill used purely as a conduit for data - import to Scythebill from Observado, export to eBird, and never touch Scythebill again.

Let me know if you run into any problems - I'm not an Observado user myself either, but I should be able to help fix anything that goes wrong.

Thanks, just tried it, that looks great. I have to take some time to play with it. Thank you so much!
