[Maine-birds] Sanford Sewage Plant, and eBird HOTSPOT

17 species was pretty good with 100% snow covered ponds. 9 SONG SPARROWS
seems like a high count for this time of the year for this place. There are
several roads that have been cleared that take you along the woods and down
to the river.

The HOTSPOT feature is great on eBird, It helped me to clean up my
personal locations and merge some of them with the HOTSPOTS.
I noticed that: SANFORD SEWAGE PLANT has at least 3 personal
loc. used by 3 people. One birder has two personal locations for that
place!!
It is also an easy way to keep track of who is birding your HOTSPOTS, and
what they are finding. My son from SC called to say a freind needed help
birding here in Maine, so the first thing I did was go to the hotspots to
see what was being seen, so I could help him out.
