[Tweeters] eBird rare bird alerts are down -- two solutions

[Mark M. Walton]

Yeah the problem seems to have been resolved.  I just got RBA emails for both Snohomish and King counties and they seemed to cover the whole “down” period.

Tweeters,

As some of you may be aware, eBird's email notification of Rare Bird Alerts has been down since about Sept 7. Yes, it couldn't come at a worse time - so many birds are on the move right now.

Two solutions:
1) PLEASE POST RARITIES HERE ON TWEETERS. Old school, but always a good habitat. Perhaps someone from each county can give a summary. Speaking from Jefferson Co, a juv Long-tailed Jaeger was well-described from Marrowstone Pt a week ago, though recent searches have just turned up the same dark juvie Parasitic.

2) Only eBird's email function is down. The rarities are still findable at https://ebird.org/alerts<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/ebird.org/alerts__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!gr_P4dGvgLEvsctP3WDwdkkP7g3rBWCnDFjPvd6kCDMXyOAe2JY8rTggN3MnlNj_FfeQlzfhneGGl-6Xxe-RZA$>. This will lead you to your own notification settings. You can click on the blue letters and get a summary from the past 7 days.

good birding,
