Re: [cobirds] Question: Mexican Duck May 9 Weld Co

Ten days is not an unreasonably long time to wait for a review, Susan.

Naturally birders hope for rapid responses, especially positive responses.

The volunteer ID reviewers are usually swamped, especially during migration,

plus (gasp) they may spend a bit of time birding themselves or even

more surprisingly, have a family, a job and a life.

Sometimes the queue for review is in the hundreds or more, as I 

understand it. The reviewers need all the support and patience we can extend.

I am not an ID reviewer myself, but did not want you to wait ten days to 

get a response to your inquiry about whether ten days is too long to wait.

I'm sure the eBird reviewers are very busy with all the great birds everyone has been seeing, but is it unusual to have not heard anything about a bird spotted on May 9th? It was at the Stewart's Pond hotspot in Weld County. Steve Mlodinow had first spotted the Mexican Duck there in late April.
Maybe 10 days to review is not unusual, especially in the spring, but I thought I'd ask.
