I have used the eBird polygon tool
<http://ebird-tools.thruhere.net/polygon.html>to create a set of histograms
from eBird for an ad-hoc area including Mt Warning and Murwiilumbah  - in
effect a list of probabilities of seeing a species within that polygon in a
given week.  While there are not a massive number of checklists in the
result it might be a help in working out what is likely when.

As I doubt if an attachment would work on the list I'll send it on to Kirri
and Tone for them to play with or not as they wish.
