Hi Ethan and all, I have checked with WBF in the past in regards to for instance Virginia Rail sightings. Am hoping to work out an agreement on heads-up notices in the near future. Chasing rare bird reports and celebrating successful twitches, becomes sour experiences when one afterwards find out that it was a recent rehab released bird.
