Using eBird to get rare bird sightings

Maybe a week ago, I started a project and then got side tracked into better organizing my photos. In particular, I wanted to clean up and document all of the birds I had sighted over the years. The reason is there is a site called eBird.org that will email out a list of sightings that you may be interested in. And for the past week or so, there has been a sighting of a Vermilion Flycatcher at the local Old Settler's Park. I went out yesterday but didn't park in the right place because of construction. So I went out again today and got a photograph of the bird.

In order, we have an American Pipit, the Vermilion Flycatcher (with a fly!!), a Northern Shoveler, a Lesser Scaup, a Bufflehead, and finally a Gadwall. Weee!!!
