Not all eBird users are on TN birds, however.  I have the same complaint about 
info that is only shared on Facebook, since it is essentially useless to me in 
the world of lousy internet that I live in (eBird, on the other hand, works 
fine on low bandwidth).

I know e-bird is a valuable resource, and the data received can be helpful to 
both professional as well as amateur ornithologists.
That being said, it is a poor place to only put records there, of uncommon to 
rare species that others might want to try and relocate.

In Middle Tennesse, there is also a thread on Facebook that many people are 
using to report sightings.

Could everyone please put anything of significance on Tn-bird, and post 
anything you like on these other sites, that are not designed to share info on 
short notice.

This note was precipitated by the news that I drove right by Hatchie NWR on 
Sunday, only to find out later in the day that 2 Tricolored Herons were seen 
there the day before, and posted on e-bird 

Aargh
