All:

Since I've had a couple suggestions that the Bachman's Warbler shown on
eBird currently is rather a Bachman's Sparrow, I thought I'd point out that:


1.  eBird doesn't offer the option of entering review-list species for a
locale unless the observer takes an extra step and affirms a prompt.
Presumably, that would not be necessary to enter a SC resident like
Bachman's Sparrow.

2.  The sighting is confirmed, which for an ABA Code 6 bird, seems like a
pretty big error by a reviewer.

Still hoping!

Bird well,

Paul
