Is Blue-gray Tanager Extirpated from Ebird?
|
Dave Weber
When viewing all of my photos in Ebird, I noticed that Blue-gray Tanager is
missing. This is the bird seen at Sycamore Grove Park/Arroyo Entrance this year. I found the following: It appears on my single checklist with the photos. It appears on my county list. It does not appear on the full county checklist. I cannot find anyone's photos of the bird, ie the search returns no result. Other exotics still appear on the county list. Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me? Dave Weber, Milpitas

eBird protocol for most introduced species (with a handful of exceptions)

is for reviewers to invalidate the record with the flag "introduced/exotic". This removes the records from all public output, including maps, but they are still present in the dataset and visible on the individual checklists. I've heard that the rationale for this protocol is to reduce the clutter of introduced species on bar charts, although that seems pretty trivial and I'd like to see introduced species included in public output. If anyone is interested in analyzing records of a specific introduced species, it's relatively easy to get these invalidated records in the eBird Basic Dataset download. Good birding, Frank Fogarty Arcata/Oakland

Bummer about the photos missing. Another good reason to post on EBB too. Stuff won't be disappeared!

Who in the world has ever spotted a Blue-Gray Tanager in Alameda County? None I know of.

Sycamore Grove Park south of Livermore. It was quite a celebrity. Did you
miss this message? https://groups.io/g/EBB-Sightings/message/12346 But much of the discussion was on the discussion list starting at: https://groups.io/g/EBB-Discussion/message/57 The bird was originally found by Dean LaTray on 5 April posted on eBird: https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S54603587?view=photos with many follow up eBird posts some containing outstanding photos. Here is a partial list: https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S54785631?view=photos https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S54833729?view=photos https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S54834592?view=photos https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S55440056?view=photos https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S55541550?view=photos https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S55592097?view=photos https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S55592097?view=photos https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S55858987?view=photos and continuing. The last eBird report I found was dated 2 June.
