[Tweeters] Bad use of eBird

[Rachel Lawson]

I just got back from a tour during which we saw a single bustard of a species that is vulnerable to extinction.  Our guide told us not to report this individual on eBird because Saudi Arabian falconers read the reports and, within days, will arrive and kill it.  What a terrible use of an otherwise excellent resource.
