eBird Data Extraction and Processing in R
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.
