All -
If you're not an eBirder, go ahead and delete this email. Otherwise,
please read.
Just a little a little request from your Tennessee eBird review team. Some
of you may have noticed that on the eBird mobile app on Android phones, you
can just check the box for a high count and submit the list without
including any details. This is coming to the iOS versions of the app
soon.
PLEASE add details for high counts! We are getting a lot of high counts
being reported with no details. We don't know if details were
intentionally excluded or not, thus we don't know whether the count is
accurate or a typo. We have been getting a lot of flagged reports in
general lately, which is good, but we simply don't have the time to contact
everyone about every high count. Thus we are making judgment calls in a lot
of cases, for better for worse.
Please add details to your high count reports.
If you have questions about this, please email me know offline.
Thanks,
Scott Somershoe
