As Kathleen says, this is a spectacular spotting but it needs more information. Take "Habitat" for instance. Many users think they have to research this and so often they copy general information from a website, or they leave it blank. However that is absolutely incorrect. Habitat is a description of where YOU took your photos. Only you can provide that.:-) See this advice and more at http://www.projectnoah.org/faq
