Hey Everybody!=C2=A0
Thank-you so much for all your great input. A big thanks to everyone that g=
ave permission to share photos. As I've noted in private emails, the natura=
list/birding community is a very accommodating/happy-to-help bunch. So than=
ks for that!=C2=A0
I have a rough copy of the map up and going. There will be a nicer-looking =
map up and online in a few weeks, however I thought it would be cool to sha=
re the working copy, and get some feedback on tweak the data.=C2=A0
The map is powered by a Google Spreadsheet, and updated through the ArcGIS =
Online server. For anyone interested, I can grant you permission to edit th=
e Google Spreadsheet, and you can add/alter records.

The map itself can be accessed at :=20

I think this is an interesting way to share rare-bird data. As we've seen f=
rom the list-serve comments by Rick Whitman, and Keith Lowe there's no sure=
-fire one-click way to tease out rarities (which is really odd considering =
I've been contacted in the past to confirm records with photos [you'd think=
 there is a filter here that could be accessed]).

I'm in the process now of creating a map for 2015. I'd like to have this ve=
rsion populated by an online form, which in turn is fed by a Google Form. T=
his way, people can enter their own candidate observations into the spreads=
heet (without requiring permission).

I'd really appreciate any feedback. I find the map loads best in Google Chr=
ome Browser. Some of the photographs don't render well in Firefox.

Thanks again for everyone's help.=20

Ian
