You said Geospace in your original post. They may have meant Geospatial Data
Gateway, a US Government site.

All,
From the GeoSearch website, <http://geo-search.com/about-us>
"GeoSearch provides customers with fast, accurate, constructive information to
help assess and manage environmental risk.
To that end, we harvest information from a variety of sources, cross-reference
that information, and then compile and deliver it in an easy-to-understand,
manageable report."
This company needs to know about eBird, not the other way around!
(Disclaimer: I have no other interests or connections with this company other
than what I read on their website after a google search.)
