I use a database where I not only can enter Birds, but also Mammels, Butterfly, Fishes, Amphibians...

Hi, thanks for that..yes...

What I am finding is that older birders who have been doing this for years, generally have a lot invested in paper, or manual systems, and have been slow to adopt computerized systems, that can share data, such as the Swedish system mentioned in this thread, and e-bird. Here in the states, there seems to be a real shortage of younger birders, and it may have something to do with the inability of many more experienced birders to share their...
