Nor, really, why someone would want to read it. I agree with Martha, let people
submit written reports as they prefer. Someone might want to use the EBird trip
report, but, I suspect, that won’t deliver the “fun” content Martha describes.

Thanks! I’m not sure how you could add the kind of commentary that makes trip
reports more personal and fun. Captions under the photos? I don’t think eBird
would appreciate comments like “after hearing this bird sing for 30 minutes
we were finally able to get a good look at it.” Plus it can be nice to see
photos of the birders in action…

Subject: [hcasboard] Example trip report
At last nights zoom meeting we discussed using eBirds new Trip Reporting
feature to share HCAS birding trips, CBC, member’s trips, etc. I created a
simple trip report from a recent trip Jim & I took to give you an example of
what the reports look like. The trips can be shared this way by sending a
link via email. There is also an option to send them to Facebook.
