Why duplicate the efforts of eBIRD? eBIRD already has these
capabilities. Go
to:<http://www.ebird.org/content/>http://www.ebird.org/content/
You can do the same thing on eBIRD and contribute to citizen science.

Sightings could be submitted via a form on the page. Once entered, each
sighting would be represented by a red marker, visible to anyone.
Sightings could be filtered by species and/or genera, as well as zip
code. This is a very powerful tool that could quickly allow anyone
to find the exact location of a sighting anywhere in the state at a
single glance. This would be free to put together and implement on
the mou site. If anyone thinks this might be a useful tool, let us
know.<br>
