Bill,
Thank you for your response on this one, Bill. Calamus Outfitters
Birding Tours, unfortunately, did a great disservice to eBird and
ebirders. Hope I did not overstep with my comments, but ran into another
list out of Calamus a couple of days ago which they named "Calamus State
Recreation Area" but it was not a hot spot. The GPS coordinates matched
"Calamus Reservoir--Gracie Creek trout pond", but the name suggests the
entirety of the Calamus Reservoir. I would suspect that this person was
not familiar with eBird hotspots.
Have a great birding year. Maybe I will see you at the Tri-State
Ornithological meeting in South Sioux City May 16-18.
God Bless,
