I still miss the gadget. Without it, I wonder why I even have a homepage.A couple of days ago I lamented my loss (the Google Gadget on iGoogle) and subscribed to several rare bird alerts (ME, NH, MA, NB and Quebec) on eBird. You may choose to be alerted daily or hourly. Just for fun, I put the Quebec alert on an hourly basis, just to see how annoying it might become. (The action there at the moment seems to revolve around a Ross' Goose near Montreal).When you get the alert summary, you might want to click on the blue "Date" column heading. That puts the data in chronological order. It comes to you otherwise in phylogenetic order.

Hey everyone:While this is being brought up, I did want to make sure people are aware that eBird itself has a page that largely drives what you are seeing in the BirdTrax gadget. Within the 'Explore Data' tab (http://ebird.org/ebird/eBirdReports) you will find a link for 'Alerts' at the bottom of the page (http://ebird.org/ebird/alerts). From there you can signup for or just view 'Rare Bird Alerts' or 'Needs Alerts' for any county, state/province, or country.While the gadget is convenient, I prefer these sites which also show all embedded media (photos, video, audio). Here is a link for the state-wide rare bird alert for Maine: http://ebird.org/ebird/alert/summary?sid=SN35688I highly recommend playing around on that 'Explore Data' tab (http://ebird.org/ebird/eBirdReports) because there is a lot of cool stuff for anyone to use. I don't remember if it was mentioned on the listserv before but the new 'Hotspot Explorer' is an awesome tool to discover new birding places or explore what birds are being seen at your local patch. Here is a full article on this new tool: http://ebird.org/content/me/news/introducing-the-ebird-hotspot-explorer/Good birding,--
