Re: [mou-net] Best way to add MOU records to ebird?

Alexander,You can export the MOU data you want to import into eBird as an excel 
file from the Query Database page.With that file (perhaps saved as a csv), you 
can import it into eBird by following the instructions

I believe nothing ever appeared on the listserve because nobody who looked for

I just looked at the rare bird alert Friday weekly report from the American

Kathy who inquired about this earlier. Where are the reports on this bird? Who 
found it and did anyone else see it? I found no reports at all on eBird and saw 
nothing on the Minnesota Facebook group. Is this some sort of underground 
sighting meant to be kept on the down low?
