Tweets,
Seems a fair amount of people are interested in how many Marbled Godwits are at the pier in Tokeland. This may sound so simple is it dumb or maybe I just don't get why people are counting these birds, but: Wouldn't it be easy to find a good position to take a photo of the birds (using a panorama or something similar) and just count them in the photo, marking them off as you counted? I think it might be easier than trying to pick through all the hunkered down birds there, losing your place, or forgetting your count. Just a simple suggestion that came to mind just now and I thought I would share.
