[MCZ Orn 192907] Ammodramus maritimus - GeoReference issue #40

Closed KenBlankenship closed 9 years ago

Hello. This is one of a number of specimens from MCZ with the locality of "Sapelo" that have been plotted to what appears to be a generic point in Georgia. This place name, of course, refers to "Sapelo Island," where many specimens were collected during the 19th century. Many other specimens are correctly plotted to the island, but for some reason a certain subset (like this one) are not. Thanks!
