Re: [cobirds] Bird Tracks Gone

Thank you! Yes this helps! I still miss it on the CFO and DFO Home page though.

Cheri and other COBirders,

I think it was just linking to this page essentially: http://ebird.org/ebird/alert/summary?sid=SN35566

That is the Colorado Rare Bird Alert generated by eBird.  It will be different than what is posted to COBirds each morning as that is compiled by hand.  The eBird Colorado Rare Bird Alert is generated by comparing the incoming lists with the expected birds in those areas at those times.  If the bird is either a high count (I think) or a rarity, it gets flagged and placed into this Alert.  

If you want to navigate to another alert (for say another state or county), you can do that here: http://ebird.org/ebird/alerts  From that page, you can enter a country, state, province, or county to get the rare bird alerts list for that area.

Hope that helps you for now.

Hi, What happened to the bird tracks rare bird report on the CFO home page? All I see now is a box to click to go to ebird. Perhaps it is just that I'm not familiar enough with ebird to know how to get current rare bird sightings like one could with the bird tracks report but this seems like a really poor substitute. Please bring it back!
