Well Bill.....its hard to do everything and with raising two very active teenaged daughters, running the San Luis Valley Bird Network, part time work as naturalist at the Zapata Ranch, keeping local bird records for the San Luis Valley, and recording all the information for seasonal reports, my time gets a little thin. Ebird is a great tool, just not in the priority loop at this time.
