Revised RBA May 10: HOODED WARBLER in Crowley County, NOT Lamar CC
Allison Hilf
Sorry everyone, a few mistakes were thankfully pointed out to me this AM. PLEASE do notify compiler when you notice mistakes, as they are bound to happen and bringing them to my attention is most appreciated.
Note:
—-Hooded Warbler was found by Brandon Percival in Crowley County at Olney Springs SWA; NOT at Lamar CC
—-The anonymous e-bird report of Great-crested Flycatcher in El Paso County was removed. Not sure when it was removed on e-bird.
Other changes were mostly typos..

I was the original reporter of the el paso county Great Crested Flycatcher. My ebird observation is still there and the bird was photographed, photos are on my checklist. If you look in the el paso county rarity alerts you can find it. Just letting you know so you can include the observation on the RBA!

I’m not sure why on Thursday it originally posted without your name (there was no name on report when I checked before I had gone to bed). Perhaps e-bird made error, or you might want to check your settings and see if they are generally public? It shows up now, but originally didn’t on Thur.
Thx
