Yes! You can still do an eBird report after the fact. Just change the date
and time. Make sure it’s the same as your picture and attach that too. You
can do it as an incidental report if you don’t have a list of the other
birds you saw at the time.
You can also report it on the IOU website. Please do it as soon as you can,
because June 15th is the cutoff for spring reports. ( Connor will be
sending a reminder email soon).
Awesome sighting!
