Hi
Cobirds vs Ebirds, what a great discussion, lets keep going with it.
What about the the birder, that just has four hours to spend and wants to go to a location where there is a good diversity of birds and is not interested in traveling great distances for a rare bird. For example a birder may be interested in sifting through a variety of ducks, viewing them at different distances, light conditions and plumages in order to develop a degree of jizz about ducks. Or during spring and fall migration wanting to study shorebirds in their different transitional plumages, Or in winter where are the best locations for watching and studying hawks?. Or how about interesting discussions like this?
I think there is value in conveying location and type of interest information. Not everyone at every moment is interested in just knowing where a rare bird is.
Cheers,
