Martyn,
You mean maps like these?
Distributions (at the bottom of the page): http://tinyurl.com/2fms49
...the same using google maps: http://tinyurl.com/ywx3pj
County populations: http://tinyurl.com/ypqskc
Sorry if I seem overly curious, but I do this for a living and for fun: How
is your data stored? Database, or somewhere else. Is this for web
consumption, or CDROM? And will the data change often enough to justify
building dynamic maps (rather than making static ones one time and using
them for the next couple years)?
I'm just now starting another project that lets amateur
botanists/hikers/photographers take pictures on our local big mountain, then
upload their photos and GPS tracks to geolocate their photos, and use that
information to build a large map for the locations of each species on the
mountain. Plant identification keys will be involved. It's not birds, nor is
it recorded, but it's similar to what you are doing.

What I am attempting to do is log all sightings with my metadata and show
abundance maps for my information.
I have a huge project coming up with bats and frogs; I want to be able to
fill in each county and state as to their whereabouts and patterns.
Any help would be totally appreciated.
