Agreed on Facebook, this listserv, etc. However eBird should be
addressed by Cornell. I think they already have the capability to mark
species or locations as sensitive. There's no reason to rely on
hundreds of disconnected individuals changing their behavior in an
unintuitive way when instead it can be fixed once at the source. Has
anyone pointed out the problem to the relevant folks at Cornell? m
