Kenny,
Thank you for the tip on setting alerts. I could never understand how others got their notifications so much earlier than me. That is corrected! It was a nice suprise to see the Michael Linz’s photo of a Nashville Warbler greeted me opening up eBird.

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.

The most recent bird that I have not been in the know about was a Short-eared Owl in Fayetteville, but this is not the first time that it seems only a select few are being clued in about. I get hourly rare bird alerts for Arkansas, but didn't get a notification about the SEOW until today. It makes me feel rather slighted that I don't get to know about local rare birds, especially given this is supposed to be the function of the listserv. The only thing I can think of is that there's a fear of ill-mannered birders harassing birds, but I'm very well behaved. They even let me go out in public on occasion, lol. Any insight would be appreciated, as I don't particularly like feeling, "less-than".
