(<http://ebird.org>), an online tool for recording bird observations.
Public access to the full eBird database is via the eBird Basic Dataset
(EBD; see <http://ebird.org/ebird/data/download> for access), a downloadable
text file. This package is an interface to AWK for extracting data from the
EBD based on taxonomic, spatial, or temporal filters, to produce a
manageable file size that can be imported into R.
