Sightings could be submitted via a form on the page. Once entered, each =
sighting would be represented by a red marker, visible to anyone. =
Sightings could be filtered by species and/or genera, as well as zip =
code.  This is a very powerful tool that could quickly allow anyone to =
find the exact location of a sighting anywhere in the state at a single =
glance.  This would be free to put together and implement on the mou =
site.  If anyone thinks this might be a useful tool, let us know.
