neilpa Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Does anyone know when eBird is going to finish the exotics update? Specifically having domestics, exotics, etc. no longer show up in life lists by default. I did a bit of digging but couldn't find any info or updates. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said they were supposed to finish during the winter, so I would think sometime soon, but who knows? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I was wondering that myself last week. I also could not find any information on their site. You might try e-mailing them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds are cool Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 If you do email them, do not expect an answer quickly. I have asked them questions before, and they either take half a month to answer, or don't answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipperatl Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) I noticed for our county Whooping Crane is listed with everything else, while a nearby county has it listed under Provisional. Of course now I can't find it. Found it - https://ebird.org/region/US-MI-149?yr=all&m=&rank=lrec Edited January 25 by chipperatl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the one from this weekend (at the same spot) is listed as natural. Still some kinks to work out apparently. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoroark Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) My life count has fallen to 408. The three removed were African Collared-Dove, Graylag Goose, and Swan Goose. Interestingly, one of my sightings of Indian Peafowl is marked as provisional, so that one counts, and I had seen naturalized Muscovy Ducks in Florida. I had seven removed from my county list: Mute Swan, African Collared-Dove, Graylag Goose, Red Junglefowl, Muscovy Duck, Swan Goose, and Indian Peafowl.

Aaron Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Mine has remained exactly the same. Somehow have gone this long without reporting any escapees, provisionals, or hybrids. 32 spuhs though 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Spencer Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) 25 spuhs and slashes. Here on the coastal plain, when a crow flies over and doesn't make a noise, there's no way to be more specific.
