I'll let you know if he finds one so you can pass it on. Thanks for the quick response and all the info you've provided here.

I am dissipointed with this app. The best part of the app, to me, is the information given about typical habitat where the birds may be found. It is completely worthlesss helping you found already-seen birds. The bluebirds I saw last night in Endwell, NY do not even show up.

I'm not saying that all non-hotspot sightings need to be kept ambiguous, but there are a good number that should. I guess this also is affected by how good the ebird reviewers for particular states are in setting up hotspots.
