This occurred to me while I was organizing my eBird reports the other day, and
I thought I'd pass it along to my fellow birders as a suggestion: If you have
checklists from a personal location that has been marked by someone else as a
hotspot, please change the location of your lists from the personal site to the
hotspot. That way, when people search on the hotspot, they're getting a
complete account of everything that's been reported there. This can be an
especially big problem with sites like the MTSU ponds, where there are probably
a hundred checklists that apply to personal locations and not the hotspot
that's been set up there. I had to go through and change all mine, which was a
little tedious, but I think it's worth it for the sake of having quality data.
