A new website for tracking bird sightings and recording trip reports has emerged: http://birdstack.com/tour. At first blush it seems like a great option to the expensive commercial software products available. With birdstack you can record your lists and trips using data from a worldwide database, chat with fellow birdstackers, etc. But it cumbersone. You are required to navigate through multiple pages of selection data when making a single entry. Compare with eBird where you can easily record multiple species on a single page representing all of the birds at a specific location. I will investigate Birdstack for some of its reporting and linking usefullness, but for now, I’ll stick with eBird.
