Hi Nick and All...

In addition to Cornell's BBC, you might want to mention the CoCoRaHS Network (Community Cooperative Rain, Hail, and Snow) project out of Colorado State University: http://www.cocorahs.org/ 

Also, NOOA's Cooperative Observer Program: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/coop/

And, the National Wildlife Foundation's Certified Backyard Habitat program: http://www.nwf.org/gardenforwildlife/create.cfm?CFID=21997184&CFTOKEN=ba09e9d35a8039c3-B2C77C2A-5056-A868-A00EB2A96442A099

And, not to be outdone, the Audubon Society's annual Christmas bird count: http://www.audubon.org/Bird/cbc/

I'm sure there are others. If anyone knows of some, it would be fun to add them to the list.  All of these, except the NWF habitat program, use the web for reporting data.  Great projects for schools with XOs (or other computers) and internet access.
