[cobirds] ebird - hiding records from output

Folks,

When submitting via computer you can hide the output by checking a box on the right menu "Hide from eBird Output." This is not a feature for mobile versions. In this case wait to submit your record when you return home.

I suggest that birders use this feature when happening upon a nesting sensitive or low population species, or any species and their habitat that could be impacted by repeated visits. Unfortunately eBird does a terrible job of hiding sensitive species from output, leaving it in the hands of users for the most part.

Finally, no birder is immune from being cited for "take" under the MBTA, even with the best of intentions. Do the birds, their habitats, and the folks trying to protect them a favor and let them nest in peace. Thanks Duane for your efforts.
