EBird mobile app location bug

If you subscribe to the eBird rare bird alerts, you will notice a report from Mesa county again this morning the 22nd near Fruita from a birder in Michigan. She reports a Red-bellied Woodpecker, Northern Cardinal and Tufted Titmouse which are all rare in Mesa county but not in Michigan. I can see from her profile that all her recent checklists are in Michigan. Bill Kaempfer recently saw a location bug in the mobile app as well. So, looks like a eBird mobile app bug on locations.

So, check your locations carefully if you use the mobile app in the field. Here again, no need to dash off to Mesa county for that Red-bellied Woodpecker or Northern Cardinal. They won’t be there.
