Thank you wildsweld, glad to have you as part of the community!
Thank you S Frazier - I'm relatively new on this site and forget to fill in that field. In any case I've updated it now. Thank you also for the link!
Hello. One of my favorite birds! Since you know the identity of your organism (from your use of its common name), please go ahead and fill in the scientific name field. In this case for the "rose-breasted grosbeak" it is Pheucticus ludovicianus. This allows the spotting to be correctly entered into the database and become a complete record, letting groups and individuals use the data and find your spotting. It also takes the spotting off the "unidentified" list. If you are interested in learning how species are named and why this is important, see Project Noah's blog entry http://blog.projectnoah.org/post/2870249... Thanks!
