Hi Folks!
With the onset of frigid weather (and taking a break from last year's
madness) I have opened some dusty boxes and started entering old sightings into
eBird. Part of this effort is reviewing slides, videos and digital photos.
The eBird report form allows You to place links or embedded images into the
"add details" section for individual species. For species that need
additional comments, either because that are unusual or the number entered
exceeds the trigger value, this new box automatically appears. Photos of rare or
unusual species ease the review process for the eBird Review Team. Here is
an example:

For common species, You need to click on the species name to get the "add
details" box to open. Like front page news, rarities and unusual numbers
have a WOW! factor, but the day-to-day events need to be reported to provide
the background. Keep in mind that the lists You submit are not just for
local consumption, but can be viewed from anywhere there is access to the
internet. The images You add can provide a resource for out-of-area birders,
artists and the "I really just bought it got the artcles!" set. [click on
the images to get a larger view]

Have fun!
