e-bird question

[tom none]

Does anyone know whether the photos used by e-bird for photo ID are vetted for accuracy or do they just depend on what the observer lists?

Thanks,

Tom Curtis

Hi Tom,

The reviewer for the County often checks photos for accuracy.  I know because Christian Nunes of Boulder is always sending me emails. ;-)

Tom,

If you are referring to the eBird/Merlin photo ID program, here is an article about that topic with a helpful link that goes much deeper into the process.
