Hey Tweets!

Just a whaddyacallthat question, and maybe a query for an ebird reviewer out there who can help with names of hotspots: So, Frager Road South in Kent has two disconnected pieces. One of them is the South end of the disconnected pieces - the end down towards Smith Brothers, where people often go to find Eurasian Collared-Doves and swans. It's very easy to call the south end of Frager Road "Frager Road South".

But then there's the north end of Frager Road South, which is up by 204th. There's a hotspot for "Frager Road South" there, which, I mean is technically correct, but may lead to confusion as a hotspot name. And then a checklist popped up for "Frager Road (North)", and I know exactly what they mean, but to have the common name kind of look like the opposite of the name of the hotspot there... this may lead to confusion as well!

I'm wondering, given that 204th and the stretch of Frager Road South that connects with it are continuous habitat, could we take the whole mess of sightings there and just lump them together and call it "204th and Frager" on ebird? It's not quite the size of Marymoor or Discovery Park by any stretch of the imagination, so I don't figure it would be making it too vague.

That... or maybe "Frager Road South (South)" and "Frager Road South (North)"? ha. Although the most informative designation for the latter might be "Frager Road South (along the property of the angry man with the truck who doesn't care to have you standing in front of his house looking at birds)"

Important important questions here... I'm sure the AOU will chime in sooner or later.

Happy birding!
