I would be cautious about listing "other observers" in a long list of birds, especially when very rare birds are involved. This has happened many times in the past on MDOspry and other listserves. I know that one of the listed "other observers" looked at the "Black Guillemot" and saw a Horned Grebe. For very rare birds, only the names of the observers who concur in the identification should be listed next to rare species. Good Birding!
