If you wish to merge your personal location with an existing hotspot here
are the steps:
— Sign into eBird.org
— Go to 'My eBird' & select 'Manage My... Locations' in the left panel
— To see all of your personal locations drop down on 'Type' and select
'Personal'
— ... or use the Search bar to find the personal location
— ... or select directly from the list which can be sorted using the 'Sort
by' drop down on the upper right
— ... Personal locations are missing the "people" icon to the right of the
location name
— Select the personal location and click the 'Merge' button and you'll see
all nearby hotspots as red icons with flames
— ... Keep the checkmark for 'Delete after merging' selected
— Click the Hotspot (red icon) where you want the green personal location
to be merged into
— ... you'll see the hotspot location name above the merge button showing
the # of checklists to be merged
— Click the 'Merge' button
— Answer Yes to the 'Are you sure?' query
All checklists for your personal location will be combined with the hotspot.
