Russ,

 

I look at it a little differently.  I allow for the exceptional events - Big
Days, Raptor Routes, Migration Counts, Breeding Bird Surveys and CBC's.
There you can get significantly higher counts of individuals.  Twenty-five
GHO's would still be high, but I would set it in the 10-15 range rather than
3 or 4 that one observer may expect to see.

I'm sorry, I haven't made it through all the archives yet.  I'm sure this
question has been answered.

 

I'm going through the Harney County filters and thinking to myself, yes, of
course there are 25 Great Horned Owls in Harney County, but no observer
should be submitting this number from a single checklist.  So, my thought is
to set filters from the perspective of a single checklist, not from a county
standpoint.

 

Thoughts?

 

Russ
