Hi David;
Interesting point. That would probably "level the
playing field". However, I think it would be
difficult to establish perimeters.
Before we delve any deeper into the subject - allow me
to say this is meant to be a fun exercise. There are
no prizes, practically no restrictions, and most
importantly, no judges. It's simply a way to get
members looking at birds - even when they have little
time to get out birding.
Cheers;
Suzanne
