I think this a great idea. Most of the time the messages in the Birdbox
come strictly from Seattle area birders. True there are some committed
birders who pay the long distance call and and to the messages, but if
they are online it would be far better if they could save their money, and
the birdbox would reflect sightings up to date from accross the state.
Hal, thanks for thinking up a creative solution.
