Hi everyone,

If you were on the pelagic on Saturday and use eBird, please send me your
username or the email address attached to your eBird account so I'll be able
to share the lists with you. Rather than entering the grand total in a
single checklist at a random point off the coast, I kept separate lists for
every 30 minutes with GPS coordinates attached to each checklist (thanks to
Mark Hoffman for keeping the GPS track!). This presents a much more accurate
depiction of the bird density/distrubution and benefits researchers a lot
more than just telling them there were 100+ Dovekies somewhere between 3
miles and 60 miles east of Ocean City.

We are still in the process of finalizing the trip numbers, so it may be a
day or two before I share the lists. Once I do, feel free to go into each
checklist and delete anything you didn't see or add something you did.

I hope you had as much fun as I did, and I'll see you all on the next boat
trip!
