Index of Subjects Hi Jeannie; The sightings you submit are scanned by a computer, not a person. That's why species cannot be counted when they are listed in the comments section. Once your checklist is entered, it becomes my job to review it. I'm "the person". ". Hopefully, I can help you with all your problems. To enter your Baltimore Oriole, click on "Show Rarities" at the top of the page where you submit your list of species. That brings up a much longer list. Baltimore Oriole is in the 3rd last section under Blackbirds. Billy, Thanks for giving Jeannie your postal code. Jeannie, what happens when you enter your own postal code and leave everything else blank? Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
