Subject: [MDBirding] E-bird flagging details


Bill, thanks so much for your informative post regarding e-bird. I think of e-bird as a near miracle and wish it had been around 30 years ago (oh the paper records I have!)

I find I am most often flagged by numbers instead of species (most often sparrows.....surprise surprise!) I am often at loss as to what to put in the comments other than location. I know all sightings that are flagged are helped by details. Other than ...�24 Savannahs in the goldenrod swale� I really am not sure how to provide supportive details. They were very cute may be true but not scientifically useful.

Bonnie
