Eared Grebe.

Hi Cobirders,
Heather Riley of Durango recently posted a question about how Rare Bird Alert
listings were determined and I think that my reply to her might be of interest
to other COBirds subscribers who are not familiar with the process and the
relationships between the various organizations.
