If you want to use psql then:
pg_dump.exe"
--file="C:\Users\Nightrunner\DOCUMENTS\programming\pg_out\ebird_sptl_all.txt"
--host="localhost" --port="5432" --username="postgres" --password
--no-owner --no-privileges --dbname="ebird_work"
--table="p_loc.ebd_sptl" --data-only
psql ebirds
\i C:\Users\Nightrunner\DOCUMENTS\programming\pg_out\ebird_sptl_all.txt
