I'm new around here but I would like to chime in with a perspective from 
someone new to birding.  I know everyone has heard it all before but I 
cannot help stating how invaluable I've found eBird in getting me 
started into birding. After a couple of months, the birding itself is 
primarily driving my interest in birding now--maybe a bit more than it 
should! But I don't know that I would have taken to birding if not for 
discovering eBird early on. I think it is a treasure trove of 
information and every checklist provides beneficial information for many 
years to come. The ability to filter and drill down into the data is 
awesome and I've perused hundreds of checklists and hotspots to plan my 
trips and target species and I sure appreciate having all that 
information at my fingertips. It is really convenient how eBird 
automatically keeps track of my nascent year and life lists (which are 
the same at this point) as well country, province and county lists. And 
l really like that submitting checklists to eBird helps the birds.

It would be awesome if all observations made it to eBird and if posts 
from all sources were continually amalgamated but I'm sure neither would 
be easy. I assume there is no way to make posts about important 
observations on Facebook to be viewable by the public without opening up 
the entire site?

              <div>A couple years ago I mapped the Indigo Bunting
                fallout (2012?) and the distribution/spread of

                of sightings from NS-RBA and naturens had made it to

                have the option to also submit this as a record to eBird
                (etc) - the message would be parsed behind the scenes to

              <div>On listservs, this could work with a little bit of

                  target="_blank">http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Environment/FNSN/MList/</a>
                (I have started this, but have about as much time as
                Richard). If parsed well, the details of the sighting
                could be exported into a format amenable to eBird's

                                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

                                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?<br>
