http://ebird.org/ebird/hotspots I think it's worthwhile to start suggesting some public personal locations as hotspots, to better aggregate observations, and provide new arrivals, and interested vacationers with some good spots to check out in the local area. In particular, check out the disparity of hotspots on the eastern shore when compared to the Province as a whole. While hotspots don't seem suitable for every situation, and can lead to generalization of data. I think they could/should be better utilized.
