Hi Karen,
Sorry! The SEOW was posted to the Discord, but you're right, it's a rare
enough bird in Washington County that it warrants posting here. To that, I
just had a SURF SCOTER at LF. Probably best viewable from the East side
near the blind area. I think a few others refound it a little bit ago.
As for eBird, triple-check your rare bird alerts are set to hourly and not
daily and those should land in your inbox much quicker. If you're still
having issues, then it could be something with the email server or client
in use or something else in that tech chain. This issue with email is often
why many of us use a more real-time platform like Discord.
Good birding,
-Kenny
