Hi,

GIS it to large extent based on principle "one geometry - one set of
attributes". The bird observation case would handle easily a situation where
each observation has an own point geometry. Your case is rather often
handled in two steps: user clicks on a polygon, application gets an ID for
the area and sends a query to the database, reads the observations and shows
them for the user.

I know that BirdLife of Finland has been building some bird observation
stuff on top of QGIS and WFS. Maybe you can try to find some contact there.
