Re: [cobirds] Adams, Weld and Morgan counties eBird sightings

I think this is an important need, too - (somewhat) timely review of all the records. But it is hard to look past the screen to the review-side of things to sense the workload. Nonetheless, the increasing use of eBird as pictured in the graphs I shared on CoBirds a little while back suggest a need for more reviewers, as in frequently birded counties like Adams it is a busy task. Still, those counties probably also have more people who could serve well as eBird reviewers. The number of records in a review queue can get daunting, and old records slip down out of view several screens back.

For Christmas all I want is all my Unconfirmed sightings going back to MAY to be approved. 
I have heard from other birders (mainly through Facebook) that there are several other "problem" counties. I don't know if more reviewers are needed? I know it's a volunteer job, and a thankless one, but if people aren't interested in doing it anymore, shouldn't there be some sort of mechanism to let eBirders know that new volunteers are needed? 
Most of my Adams County ones are super easy, because they were at Bird Banding at Barr Lake. In previous years they were approved super fast. 

Okay, rant over,
Happy Holidays!
