I was wondering if anyone here could provide any insight on why the
locator pin for the American Falls Reservoir hotspot is located in
Bannock County. I ask in this forum because so many observers for high
counts, first records, and rarities for the hotspot are names that I
often see here. Also, I emailed eBird about it twice and never got a
reply.

I’m curious because the pin is not really located in the center of the
reservoir. Bannock County does not look like it occupies more of the
reservoir than other counties, like Power or Bingham. Also, the
shoreline of the reservoir that is in Bannock County is entirely
within the Fort Hall Indian Reservation and not accessible to the
general public.

Thanks for any info you can provide.
