I asked Cornel for documents on the importance of their data.  The Biologist 
involved on the rezoning at Cibolo Planning and Zoning had discounted their 
value.  Thanks Chris for the articles

EBird publications on importance of Ebird data

Here is a list of publications from eBird data that may be useful.

You could also direct them to the two State of the Birds Reports, which are 
based on models of eBird data.

In the meantime, these two papers provide good overviews:

Sullivan B. L, Wood C. L, Iliff M. J, Bonney R. E, Fink D, et al. (2009) eBird: 
a citizen-based bird observation network in the biological sciences. Biological 
Conservation 142: 2282–2292. doi: 10.1016/j.biocon.2009.05.006.

Wood C, Sullivan B, Iliff M, Fink D, Kelling S (2011) eBird: Engaging Birders 
in Science and Conservation. PLoS Biol 9(12): e1001220. 
doi:10.1371/journal.pbio.1001220

We have a paper in press in Biological Conservation that addresses the eBird 
Enterprise. When this comes out I will send it to you.
