They do have an API. It doesn't have everything but does cover a lot of interesting use-cases.

You can also request to download all or filtered subsets of their entire database and play with it locally.

Among other things, I built this (http://empid.herokuapp.com/, source code at https://github.com/ses4j/empid) using eBird data.

I can't really tell if this is what I'm looking for. I was hoping for something that simply cataloged information about birds like the Audubon does, i.e., I can go to the page for the Purple Sandpiper[0] and see information about that bird and hear its calls.

Regardless, I took a look at your project. It's very cool!
