Subject: Re: [NEBirds] ebird location
Hi All,

Meant to reply to the thread. I created a hotspot for Robin and some
checklists have already been moved over to it. Here is the hotspot if
anyone else has lists from that area they'd like to move. You can either
edit the location on the checklist itself, or better yet, use the "Merge
locations"
<https://support.ebird.org/en/support/solutions/articles/48000850891-choosing-and-managing-locations-in-ebird#anchorMergeLocation>
feature in ebird to merge your personal location with the new hotspot.

Thanks!
Tobin Brown
