auk_get_ebd_path

<p>Returns the environment variable <code>EBD_PATH</code>, which users are encouraged to
set to the directory that stores the eBird Basic Dataset (EBD) text files.</p>

Extract and process bird sightings records from
eBird (<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.
