And it shouldn't based on eBird rules. If we want others to know about good birds, we cannot expect notifications from eBird. Cornell controls the parameters of those notifications. eBird IS their project and they SHOULD set the rules for it.

I don’t know if it HAS BEEN suppressed on Alabama Audubon or ALbirds. It may have never been reported on those media because everyone assumes eBird sends notifications and all birders get eBird notifications. How many great state birds have been seen in recent years that have never been reported on these media. A don't follow Alabama Audubon, but I still haven't seen an ALbirds report for the Caracara seen recently near Foley or many other rarities I have seen on eBird (yes, I do get those reports, but I am a STRONG proponent for ALbirds messages). Not every birder in Alabama (or other states) participates in eBird.

Hi,
I saw the owl last week at the park. My eBird report is suppressed due to it being sensitive.

My daughter sent a Facebook page about a Long-eared Owl in Railroad Park, B'ham. I see nothing on eBird. Does anyone know anything about an owl in Railroad Park? Is it an old report?
