As the results were being posted for the GBBC, I happened to check 
a list that had been posted for a locality that is not too far from  
where I live in Greenbelt.  (This list was NOT for either Greenbelt 
Lake or Lake Artemesia.)  I was surprised to find that the list 
included 2 Red-headed Woodpeckers (but no Red-bellied), 
3 Red-breasted Nuthatches (in addition to 5 White- breasted),
and 11 Purple Finches (but no House Finches).  I am pretty sure 
that this same list originally included 3 Common Ravens, but it 
appears that this species has now been removed.

So, what I'm wondering is:  Does anyone know if somebody at Cornell 
or Audubon is checking the lists for likely errors?  How much concern  
is there is for the accuracy of the postings?

I hope that I'm not opening a can of worms here...
