Subject: [MDBirding] eBird map and the Eurasian Collared Dove


Hi, all -

The eBird map is getting pretty cluttered with dove sightings. I think I have a pretty easy solution. It seems as though the community of Reid is the intersection of Marsh Pike and Lehmans Mill Rd. If you go to My eBird - Manage Observations, select the dove checklist. Then Edit Location and pick Entire City, County, or State. Enter Reid, Washington, and MD. That should stick your entry at the intersection. The comments on the dove entry itself can provide the more specific location.

Of course, if your sighting is farther afield from 'the' intersection, you might want to make it a personal location rather than a shared one.

Just a thought - about 2 cents worth!
