eBird is not just a project of Cornell, but also lists National Audubon and
the National Science Foundation as leaders on the project.

give you some great vocabulary to use when talking about eBird. I rely

Cornell, though an "out of state college", is widely regarded as an
authority in avian studies.
I have no idea who Geospace is. Can they provide any studies that cite its
statistics? I can provide you many that cite eBird.
