Reporting a rarity to birdbox is a lot better than not reporting it at all (especially without a smartphone available), so I hope you told your flogger to fuck off. That said, it rarely occurs to me to check the local birdbox, but there's no point in getting all butthurt about a phone-only bird.Seagull Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851438505719552645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172285466289881050.post-4330653805582868122013-11-04T21:02:45.096-08:002013-11-04T21:02:45.096-08:00What do you think about reporting to the phone-in ...What do you think about reporting to the phone-in rare bird alerts? Obsolete? I recently found a rarity but got flogged by private email for only phoning it in to the "birdbox" and waiting (gasp) several hours before reporting it on the web (don't have a smart phone yet).

It's been immensely gratifying that so many other birders got to see the pipit we found (and the others that we didn't).Bird Nerd Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03570341004847548647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172285466289881050.post-63179917447741366472013-11-03T17:58:47.267-08:002013-11-03T17:58:47.267-08:00That was a good loon.
