    That range map is from ThaiNationalPark site, and better than eBird.  TNP site usually wants a photo of, on their FB Thai ID site to verify.   

     

    But nothing really proves that photo was from that area.  eBird on the other hand, will map any bird anywhere, without a photo.  I suspect many are how you say ... total BS.  Anything to jack their sighting #s up.  Seems to be a bit of 'one upmanship' going on, at that site.

     

    I've read checklists where member states he/she/it saw 40 damn species, a few rare, at 1 location.   Of course no photos, even though their profile photo has a spiffy camera hanging on their neck.

     

    Sorry, no photo, it didn't happen.  If it's not close enough to take a photo, with a mediocre camera, even if blurred, how the hell can you tell what species it is.

    That is all my friends say when I call them is they hear the birds.  Always wondering if they are flying south or north

    Showing the boarding pass has been required for quite a number of years now.

     

    Don't have any experience with what happens if you don't have it/discarded it/left it behind in the plane. Have had experience with people ahead of me and others in the queues not having theirs, or having to search for it while they're in front of the officer.

    Just just want a flight number.  But I have never been asked for mine since 2016
