I just noticed this new eBird tool on eBird home page and it is a nice
little tool called eBird Targets. I like many aspects of birding and I also
like adding to many of my lists including photographed, life, year, month
and county. eBird Targets is a great tool for strategizing adding to your
lists. For instance I set the location to Nova Scotia and I set the months
to Nov through to Dec and left the default needs option to Nova Scotia life
list (you can change it to year and optionally specify a county). It
produced a list of 89 species not on my eBird life list which have been
reported in NS during Nov - Dec ordered by frequency of checklists which
have the species. Please don't tell anyone that the number one bird I don't
have for this period is Snow Bunting at %5.39 of checklists lol. I'm sure it
will come this week!
My number 4 will be a bit harder but I still hope to add it this year-Pine
Warbler. It is in just under 1% of checklists during this period. But there
is a "map" link next to each species that pops up a map showing all the
hotspots that have a checklist for the target species. I clicked on the map
link for Pine Warbler and I already found one surprise. Apparently I'll be
better off looking for it within central areas of Halifax/Dartmouth than the
remote or coastal sites I usually favour.
Amusingly, so many people entered a checklist for the Tundra Bean Goose that
it is telling me it is the 10th most likely species for me to find in Nov -
Dec.
