The story on the RB Mergs



Comments from the GBBC folks on the RB Mergs:
-------
I've checked the database and those reports look good to me.    The bulk
of
the 10,000 come from three reports from Kitty Hawk on three different
days...6000, 2500, 1000, and a 4th report with 4 birds.  The reports are

well filled out with   a good presentation of other Outer Banks species
of
interest and careful numbers.  It sounds to me like a large migratory
flock
moving north over that weekend.

This is also a good example of why, even though we lump the figures in
the
results maps, we keep them separate in the database.  In a case like
this,
they tell a story.  One report of 6,000 wouldn't.

Thanks for your interest and participation.  Let me know if you'd like
any
additional information.
