Hi Eric,

Just a quick note: eBird does indeed keep track of ABA and some world lists, but heavily weighted to this side of the world (U.S., Central & South America). On the "My eBird" page it lists:
World, North America, Caribbean, South America, AOU Area, ABA Area, United States and Lower 48.

But you are definitely correct - you can't enter the birds you saw in Europea, Asia, Africa, and other locales. I know a goal of eBird is to expand their coverage, which I'm sure will include individual country lists, etc. etc. Birds from my Italian honeymoon are floating around hoping to join my eBird lists some day.

Best wishes,
