Why are citizens allowed to participate if an "expert" is going to review it and question reported sightings?  It's not really "citizen science" then.

Subject: [MDOSPREY] GBBC data is also reviewed

For some reason the post I sent in to Osprey on Tuesday regarding the GBBC 
is not there (there are no entries on Osprey from this Tuesday 2/21).  I 
told Norm and he is aware of the anomoly.

I was unaware of the GBBC data review and am glad to learn of it.  Does 
anyone know who the volunteer reviewer is for MD?  There are many birders 
out there with varying levels of experience and enthusiasm, and it is a 
great way for all to participate in citizen science.  Bottom line - I 
think the GBBC is a lot of fun and enjoy looking at the results.


Cheers!
