I think it all depends on how you keep your lists. I for one, have to see it or
hear it in person to count it. I just watch the webcam to drool over the birds
we don't quite get in Austin (White-eared Hummer)

Why not count them. I had a crimson-collared grosbeak on the Sable Palm Cam
that no one else saw and it is a good record. Can be submitted to ebird
anyway. Might not be so good on ebird if all cam watchers submitted each
bird coming to the feeder.

How would adding these birds to one's life list work? I have nohave
intentions of adding these species seen via webcam to mine as I would
had 4 lifers and 5 year listers today had I done so - my list is ofbirds I
have seen or heard in person. I did some research and found the belowof a
quotation on the ABA website as far as criteria for what is acceptable to
be "countable". It says the encounter must be seen or heard live and not
remotely...unless the list is defined to include remote birds. Adding
birds seen over this webcam to a life or year list seems like a little
stretch to me but I found it interesting that it says "except for listsBerylline
defined to include birds seen remotely"...
The below is copied and pasted from the ABA website:
C. “Encounter” means seen and/or heard live and not remotely.
(i) A bird seen on a webcam or other remote camera may not be counted,
except for lists specifically defined to include birds seen remotely.
(ii) A bird heard via a sound augmentation device may be counted only if
the recorder is present at the location of the device and hears the
vocalization in real-time.
