Hi All,
I gather that the additional descriptions recently added to many birds in
ebird are the reason why they are appearing as "rare"? Because so far,
there's few records of things like "Mistletoebird (Australian)" as opposed
to "Mistletoebird"?
I noticed that there's now an option for "Australian Raven (Eastern)"
instead of "Australian Raven", as another example, although I didn't see
that come up as rare.
Presumably the less specific names will be deprecated eventually?
See below.
