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).

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 Cheers Terry Witt Murfreesboro Tn
