Okay folks, I've just been looking over this year's BBC results, and maybe it's just me, but, I found the following species reports ...interesting:

White-crowned Sparrow: 21 reports showing 76 birds Brewer's Blackbird: 21 reports showing 1074 birds Red-breasted Nuthatch: 19 reports showing 27 birds Pine Siskin: 25 reports showing 39 birds White-winged Dove: 2 reports showing 26 birds Black-capped Chickadee: 1 report showing 16 birds Franklin's Gull: 4 birds Clay-colored Sparrow: 3 birds

With these kinds of species out there, just waiting to be found and "documented", what are we all doing sitting in front of our computers?!

There are other, better questions to be asked about such reports, and I'd be interested in your thoughts, not just about these particular reports, but also about the overall value of reporting processes such as this one. Carol
