Greg, While researching Common Nighthawk records I came across this one that you might want to consider invalidating. http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S10342780 . There are no other west coast CONI records (other than a clearly invalid one from Nevada) in April. Twelve birds that early in the Cascades defies logic. However at that time of year Lesser Nighthawks are regular as far north as Chico.

That document looks great, would it be possible to note which assignments were removed from each reviewer, and which ones were added? The way that we edit review permissions involves deleting old and adding new assignments, rather than editing current ones. If I can see it formatted showing the changes, I can much more easily go in and enact the changes that you all have come to a consensus on. Thanks for all the work that you guys do for eBird!

These were based on evolved personal circumstances, balancing the work load of the available reviewers, and familiarity with the counties to be reviewed. We still have one outstanding issue and that is what to do with Noah Stryker's three SE counties during his travels this year. We have a communal spreadsheet that reflects the decisions we came to. It can be found here <https://docs.google.com/document/d/11l15yHrtUqkNTeH-dmlDaKJsfl9UAKxzXLJK5SUs-AA/edit> . Currently reviewer access to the filters reflected in this spreadsheet do not match with current access. Current access matches past assignments. Changes would need to made to filter access in order for us to achieve our current thinking on how best to cover Oregon. greg haworth Columbia (access) Clackamas (no access) Counties On Fri, Feb 27, 2015 at 1:46 PM, Brian Sullivan <bls42@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Hi Everyone I've been meaning to respond to the recent spate of emails and make sure that everyone has the correct review assignments in OR and that we can successfully accomplish any juggling that needs to be done. Luckily, we've just brought on Ian Davies to help with these kinds of house-keeping issues, so please add Ian to the orebird list so he can be up to speed on what's happening. In addition to helping with reviewers/filters, Ian is the point person for content on the eBird site and social media. Please feel free to email him directly if you have questions. I think, once Ian is added, that it would be worth everyone sending an email to this list that details the OR counties that they are currently covering. That way Ian can double-check the review assignments and make sure they are up to date. Thanks Brian -- =========== Brian L.
