Map FAQ
Q: Do you have any plans to map the southward migration? Other species?
A: Not in the foreseeable future.
Q: Why is my state/province not shown?
A: Your hummingbirds are another species, not Ruby-throated.
Q: Can you give me more information about a sighting?
A: Sorry, no, it would compromise my privacy pledge.
Q: Help! The maps don't change.
A: Reload/refresh the page in your browser.
Q: What mapping software do you use?
A: None. The maps are artwork produced by hand in Adobe Fireworks;
the dots are placed by eyeball after looking up each report in Google Maps.
Q: Isn't that a lot of work?
A: Well, yes.
