Almost set
Document Actions
In the past two days we've been able to line up the last few regional reviewers we need to check up on unusual bird sightings reported during the GBBC. Now we just have one last U.S. state to cover. All the other states and Canadian provinces and territories have reviewers--and in some cases teams of reviewers. Today I sent them all instructions and info to help them navigate the online bird sightings review process. With one week until the count, we're almost set to go!

How does GBBC deal with separate parties counting at same locale - listing same birds?
While it wouldn't affect species, seems it could really skew "number of birds."
multiple reports of same bird?
Good questions. What we do (in part) is divide the number of birds seen by the number of checklists reporting that bird. So if two people report the same bird from the same area, that's: two birds divided by two checklists equals one bird.
