Dear Tweetsters - I wanted to alert you to a couple new additions to the
WOS website (wos.org) that might be of interest.
First former WOS board member and officer Scott Ray has created a free web
app that should be of interest to those who chase rarities.
Here's how Scott describes it:
"Birders who chase rarities all know the question: If I drive there today,
> will the bird still be there? ....
> Chase Report is a free, mobile-friendly, web-based rare bird dashboard
> that uses current eBird notable sightings and organizes them into a
> practical “chaseability” view. It requires no account, login, or
> installation. Open the site in a browser and you can immediately see which
> rare birds appear most likely to still be present, which are uncertain, and
> which are probably gone."
Second, the maps page (also on the list of birding resources) has a new
addition: directions and maps for getting to C-Post Road, which was
mentioned recently on Tweeters, for its American Redstarts and Red-eyed
Vireos.
Finally, I wanted to remind you of the valuable collection of YouTube
videos of WOS monthly meeting presentations that Elaine Chuang has created
for WOS. Now that we're in the summer hiatus (Monthly Meetings don't resume
until October), you will have a chance to catch up on meeting presentations
you might have missed. The collection of videos is available here:
