All,
Another aspect of this issue is that there are no Texas or Federal
agencies that manage bird sighting databases available for public entry or
access.

All,
From the GeoSearch website, <http://geo-search.com/about-us>
"GeoSearch provides customers with fast, accurate, constructive informat
ion 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.)
