Want a laugh? Check out the number of locations on eBird for the Yellow-faced
Grassquit that occurred at Goose Island State Park in early 2011.

This link is so long it may not work. Anyway the map shows markers from
Rockport all the way to Aransas NWR. And this bird never moved more than 100
yards at best. We really butchered our entries on the eBird map. In fact I
was so lazy I just entered it for Aransas County. I'm as guilty as the next.
Anyway I fixed my entry so the bird is shown where it occurred, Goose Island
State Park. We need to be more careful and responsible when using eBird.
