I think it's also possible to go one-on-one with someone through GroupMe. Thus one could direct a question back to the reporter alone rather than a broadcast message. Not sure how many people know this is possible. Dave Wheeler On Jul 11, 2017 11:01 PM, "Dave Nutter" wrote:

If you use ebird, they have maps and locations in a format that you can zoom in so far to see exactly where the bird of interest is. I never even heard of Kipps Island before but I found the hotspot on ebird and it was very easy to find. Often, if a bird is not seen in a hotspot, a "stakeout"
