And unfortunately, other than increasing my reporting from my yard and Howard Christensen Nature Center (the only Kent Co site I bird fairly regularly), and the OCCASIONAL kayak on a local lake/river, it is unlikely to change. Here's why: in the limited amount of birding time I have, I am much more likely to do the wastewater and Coopersville dump for Slaty-backed Gull. <br /><br />You CHUMPS, who were poor as dirt and without a reliable car when you lived here (and who were much more likely to county list) spent an inordinate amount of time locally.<br /><br />I have one other comment. I am a huge fan of getting some kind of smartphone app where you can enter data realtime, using voice recognition (ie. just shout out: 10 Rock Pigeons, and it tabulates the GPS coordinates and date/time and automatically sends it to eBird via the cell tower). Once this happens and it affordable, eBird's data reporting will skyrocket.Caleb Putnamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05661340389049835641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7185214501681178697.post-19733782704776858162010-01-14T12:55:30.801-05:002010-01-14T12:55:30.801-05:00You guys are really hurting my feelings.

And so who are the top 10 or so eBirders from Kent Co?<br /><br />Also- I predict there will be hundreds more eBirders in Michigan joining on over the next 6-12 months. Most still don't know about it, but that is going to change...Caleb Putnamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05661340389049835641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7185214501681178697.post-67130484708589018942010-01-14T08:50:46.265-05:002010-01-14T08:50:46.265-05:00He's been entering sightings for Walworth Cty,...He's been entering sightings for Walworth Cty, WI since he got confused from my shared checklist from Oct called "My Home" so he's number 3 in Walworth Cty for 2010... <br />Way to plug eBird Caleb, MI seems like a blackhole of almost no participants compared to the neighboring states. <br />Dave, I'm at 36 complete checklists thus far, how are you doing?Sean Fitzgeraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14457249500616280424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7185214501681178697.post-25503581722468376502010-01-13T23:01:59.960-05:002010-01-13T23:01:59.960-05:00Dave- you'll be proud to know that in my IBA t...Dave- you'll be proud to know that in my IBA talk at Brigham Audubon this evening I plugged eBird something fierce, and dare say you will see at least 10-20 new participants as a result.
