eBird Data Extraction and Processing with AWK
Description
Extract and process bird sightings records from eBird
(), an online tool for recording bird observations.
Public access to the full eBird database is via the eBird Basic Dataset
(EBD; see 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.
