As a new member of the group, I'm not sure what birds to report to TN-Bird.
I've seen some early fall migrants lately but they're not considered "rare" or
even "uncommon" so I haven't reported them. I hate to clutter up inboxes for
observations that not many are interested in. So another benefit of eBird is
that I can report my birds, and those who are interested in a specific area
(county, "hotspot", etc.) can see them. I personally always check eBird before
I go out to see what's been reported recently.
Again, I'm new to all this, and am trying to learn the best way to share
information.
