Scott,
I think your intro should be modified to the following...
If you're not an eBirder, what are you waiting on? It not only is a great tool
for your own personal benefit but it is one of the easiest ways to contribute
to conservation, research and the overall betterment of birdwatching in general.
Haha!
Thanks for your continued work in this area.

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
