h2. Summary

These two Google gadgets provide a means to show [eBird|http://ebird.org] or [eBird Trail Tracker|http://www.birds.cornell.edu/is/ett/](eTT) observations over the past few days on a web site or on your Google home page. These gadgets utilize the data provided by the [eBird Recent Sightings By Loc API (v1.0)|CLOISAPI:eBird-1.0-RecentByLoc].That API delivers summary data about eBird and eTT observations made at an [eBird hotspot|http://ebird.org/content/ebird/about/hotspots]. Since all eTT deployments are linked to a particular eBird hot spot, these gadgets can deliver summary information to the web site of an eTT owner/subscriber.

There are two separate gadgets, which display the same data, but are branded somewhat differently. One gadget has eTT branding while the other has pure eBird branding.
