Hello all-

Here are some suggested attributes for the entities:

SPECIES
        Taxonomic and common names
        Physical description (and life span)
        Behavior
                reproduction
                biotic interactions (predator/prey/competition)
        Habitat

LOCATION
        Geographic location (range/distribution)
        Habitat/Niche

OBSERVATION
        Species observed
        Where observed (location/habitat)
        When observed (time, ie. season, day/night)
        Who observed
                quality of observation

I am still uncertain about what should be in free-text or
structured text.  I do believe that behavior will need free-text
room.  Habitat and description may need free-text (at least at
times).  

I hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving!
