For those of you that use eBird as a way to find what rarities are
being found/seen right now, please realize that this long weekend (Feb
14th - 17th) is the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC). GBBC
participants are using eBird to enter their sightings and there should
be a significant uptick in rarities "found" this weekend in eBird. I
know that there certainly can be some great finds in the ole backyard
but be aware that more than a few of these might not be the real thing
(or the real Masked Duck). If you are into stalking eBird & pulling
up the submissions to figure out what you are going to do this w/e,
you can tell those that were entered as part of the GBBC have a GBBC
logo in the upper left corner, like this one:
