Nice! Yeah, no pressure Jer, but I'd be thrilled if you found you have the spoons to restart that.

Vance, unfortunately. I think with better replay angles it would be very obvious, but even with the angle available it looks like she was still trying to run back from offsides when the ball was passed to her.

There's a guy in my area who is a serial offender with stuff like this. First county record of Vermilion Flycatcher, Tufted Duck, Red-throated Pipit! It's definitely intentional.

If you count subspecies and other identifiable types like me, lumps can never hurt you. Take that Cordilleran Flycatcher!

I saw the only Willow Warbler ever recorded anywhere on the North American continent. Not very easy to calculate the probability, I assume.

Probably just a young one, but I wouldn't mind seeing more photos of this bird.

eBird should widely expand the review process. Allow last year's top 10 or top X% eBirders in an area (only counting confirmed records) to have an iNat-like ability to approve a rare/high count observation and make it public if 2 or 3 of these "jr reviewers" approve it.

Escaped/Introduced species that bear a "wild type" resemblance (so excluding domestic geese, all-white peafowl, blue budgies, etc) should be countable by the third generation, regardless of their likelihood to become established.

Obscure field mark names like Orange-crowned Warbler and Ring-necked Duck are good, provided they remain exceptions rather than the norm.
Cassia Crossbill never should have been split (was true even before they were found wandering in other states and mimicking other call types).

Ahh, should have looked at those closer. I'll make sure I'm better prepared the first time I go to the southeast to feel confident about my lifer Boat-tailed. I know I'm the only one who responded, but fwiw I like the bird nerd quizzes!

Based solely on percent of eBird reports in the US it goes Anna's Hummingbird, Cooper's Hawk, Bewick's Wren, Steller's Jay, and Brewer's Blackbird. Swainson's Thrush is #6 in US, but #1 in Canada.

It was a good month for me despite being really busy. I was only able to go birding 8 days, but Bar-tailed Godwit, Blue-headed Vireo, Great Crested Flycatcher, and Broad-billed Hummingbird were all lifers seen over here in the Bay Area last month. 🪶🥳🥧

Would certainly be a better name!

I've thought about it for those I've seen! My favorite idea isn't in the AOS, though. Ruppell's Griffon to Stratosphere Griffon. Would be a cool way to recognize the world's highest flyer.

If the name attempts to point out the feet trailing past the tail field mark, what about Stilt Storm-petrel?
