What is eBird trip report checklist exporter?
Add-on stats
Add-on summary
On an eBird trip report, this browser extension provides a way to capture the checklist URLs in your clipboard. Clicking on the “Checklists” button adds a 7th button to the “Edit” pulldown menu, labeled “Copy checklist URLs”. Clicking Copy checklist URLs places a list of the URLs of all the report checklists in your clipboard. You can then paste the list into another application that can process such a list. An example of such an application is eBird checklist compiler.
Why? I feel that the absence of a provision for exporting data to another format is a real shortcoming of eBird trip reports. In particular, consolidating data from multiple trip reports, such as in preparing a Christmas Bird Count summary, is still a laborious process. Being able to capture the list of checklist URLs is a big help with such tasks.
