Yes post to tweeters! Ebird is a research tool not real conducive to birding. It is a good tool do not get me wrong but it is not timely or when misidentified birds are listed all too long. Tweeters although not perfect does allow quicker posting, ability to
interact with the poster and timelier confirmation of a rare bird. My 2 cents. Happy birding!<br>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large;color:#073763">1) PLEASE POST RARITIES HERE ON TWEETERS. Old school, but always a good habitat. Perhaps someone from each county can give a summary. Speaking from Jefferson Co, a juv Long-tailed Jaeger was well-described
from Marrowstone Pt a week ago, though recent searches have just turned up the same dark juvie Parasitic. </div>

</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large;color:#073763">2) Only eBird's email function is down. The rarities are still findable at <u><a href="https://ebird.org/alerts">https://ebird.org/alerts</a></u>. This will lead you to your own notification settings.
You can click on the blue letters and get a summary from the past 7 days. </div>
