I had always resisted sharing lists because I didn't want = my personal lists to reflect any observations that had been made by = others but I had missed. Apparently it is just a matter of each user = changing their own numbers once the list has been shared. The overall = master list remains the same.=20 Most of the NSBS outings I have been on have included several eBird = users. This often results in multiple lists for the same sightings, = sometimes using different personal locations. Obviously sharing lists on = such outings will provide much better insight into actual population = numbers.
