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 -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elh...@ibiblio.org -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
