Victoria and All,
I think more important is to reiterate that the location - county and/or
municipality if necessary - should be included in the subject of an email,
along with significant species, eg. *Rose-breasted Grosbeak - Black Earth,
Dane Cty*. Especially with the ramp up in migration we're currently
experiencing, it doesn't hurt to mention this unwritten rule of WisBirdn
again. Things will only get crazier in the next few weeks.
In regards to your suggestion, Chris W. is right in that the Daryl Tessen's
Bird Haunts book is a great reference. Although not in electronic format
that I know of yet, it's worth picking up. If you're looking for something
more digital, I think your source has yet to be created. Perhaps initiating
something of the sort would be in order, perhaps starting with a digital
index of locations in the Bird Haunts book. ;)
Cheers!
