Hi all,
It seems to me that it's just a matter of which would people rather
memorize, site locations or county locations. Yes, there are some
sites which are fairly obscure, such as the aforementioned Schumacher
Rd. That being said, WI has over 70 counties in it. I would imagine
that there's a similar phenomenon to what Rory Cameron described with
county locations as well. I know that the further I get from the
counties that I frequent, the less familiar I am with them. It can
also be difficult to include county names in the subject lines of
posts that cross multiple counties. Especially if there are specific
birds that you want to highlight, subject lines can get very long.
Good birding to all!
