You want a server-side program like PHP, JSP, perl, etc.; and a backend
store like a database. The program processes the input and puts it in the
backend. It also retrieves the data from the backend to display it.
Your site's host provider usually offers some or all of those packages.
I suspect, though, that someone has already written something like what
you want. It is a common idea and there are a lot of birders out there.
Thus exists Google and Yahoo!. And USENET; I bet there is at least one
birder group somewhere.
