eBird Web Services - Version 1.1
Issues
Issues that we need to deal with before wrapping up 1.1:
- move "valid" and "reviewed" fields to simple output option
- make sci names unique; add "domesticus" to binomial
- consider publishing grouping info along with eBird-1.1-SpeciesReference
- consider making life history zip file from eBird more accessible
- transition 1.0 apis to 1.1 url structure, fields, result formats, etc.
- character encoding issues. See http://ebird.org/ws1.0/data/hotspot/list?subnational1Code=US-CO&format=xml locID = L356957
API
This API enhances the originally released eBird 1.0 API
