This brings up a more general point. At present, bird sightings and photos
in NS are being reported to NatureNS, NS-RBA, the NSBS Facebook page, and
EBird, or any, but rarely all, of the above. So it's easy to miss stuff if
you don't spend the time monitoring all those sources. It's hard enough for
a casual observer, and must be doubly hard for someone trying to collate
data for a project, or the NSBS magazine etc. If I had the time (which
hopefully I might in the few years) I would offer to try and coordinate
this stuff into, say, a daily digest in the NSBS web site or Facebook page,
or RSS feed, but does anyone have any other thoughts or the time to do it?
