Hello, birders,
Recently was curious about Common Crane, Grus grus, so looked it up at Wikipedia. A distribution map shows it all across Siberia. click here. One showed up in Roswell, NM in December. A birder down there dubbed it, "Dumb Ivan."
I also looked at an eBird Species Map for this species, click here. No Common Crane in Siberia? More likely no eBirders in Siberia.
Moral of the story: take eBird Species Maps with a grain of salt. They provide a lot of helpful information, but are not the end of the story.
