Sighting

Not the best photos but my good buddy William the Royal Spoonbill called in to visit me this morning. He was hanging with a group of Ibis' prior to jumping in my pond and scouring it for some sustenance.

Easy to use and accurate

Love this app. It is easy to use and accurate, Their backup communication is really good. I noted a missing species. All through the process, I was kept informed about the progress in correcting the information. I now have the corrected, updated version. 😁 Thanks!
