To let everyone know:

Evidently the eBird.org homepage has been hacked and redirected to a place called "Tunisian Hackers." The news from Cornell is that none of the other pages have been affected, and the database remains secure. All of the other pages (My eBird, submit, explore, etc.) are also unaffected, just the home page with news and "about eBird" on it. For direct unhacked links to the other pages:

Submit observations:
http://ebird.org/ebird/submit

"My eBird" (your account start page):
http://ebird.org/ebird/MyEBird

Explore data:
http://ebird.org/ebird/eBirdReports
