Thanks Joel, that's another neat trick.  Not to beat this to death, but 
once you're familiar with the eBird interface and can create bar charts, 
you can bookmark an eBird bar chart for almost any geographic area/time 
period combination that interests you (e.g. particular state or county 
for all years or the current year).   Then finding a location map of 
sightings of a species of interest in that area is a simple two step 
process:  click on the bookmark and click on the map link next to the 
species name.
