Subject: [NatureNS] 2014 Rarities Map

Hey Everybody!

Thank-you so much for all your great input. A big thanks to everyone that
gave permission to share photos. As I've noted in private emails=2C the
naturalist/birding community is a very accommodating/happy-to-help bunch.
So thanks for that!

I have a rough copy of the map up and going. There will be a nicer-looking
map up and online in a few weeks=2C however I thought it would be cool to
share the working copy=2C and get some feedback on tweak the data.

The map is powered by a Google Spreadsheet=2C
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LqefIKkXvR5jiSL_AMQLV8hp5jUDnufzff=
jVJl76N1E/pubhtml?gid=3D0&single=3Dtrue>
and updated through the ArcGIS Online server. For anyone interested=2C I ca=
n
grant you permission to edit the Google Spreadsheet=2C and you can add/alte=
r
records.

The map itself can be accessed at :

http://arcg.is/1zcIOGK

I think this is an interesting way to share rare-bird data. As we've seen
from the list-serve comments by Rick Whitman=2C and Keith Lowe there's no
sure-fire one-click way to tease out rarities (which is really odd
considering I've been contacted in the past to confirm records with photos
[you'd think there is a filter here that could be accessed]).

I'm in the process now of creating a map for 2015. I'd like to have this
version populated by an online form=2C which in turn is fed by a Google For=
m.
This way=2C people can enter their own candidate observations into the
spreadsheet (without requiring permission).

I'd really appreciate any feedback. I find the map loads best in Google
Chrome Browser. Some of the photographs don't render well in Firefox.

Thanks again for everyone's help.

Ian
