Re: [nysbirds-l] Cold Spring Harbor Spoonbill Stuff

Some of these questions are answered on the ABA Listing & Taxonomy
website:  https://www.aba.org/listing-taxonomy/ and
https://www.aba.org/aba-recording-rules-and-interpretations/

Example:
RULE 4: Diagnostic characteristics, sufficient for the recorder to identify
it to species, must have been seen and/or heard and/or documented for the
bird encountered.

A. “Diagnostic characteristics” means the natural characteristics needed to
uniquely determine the species of the bird. It is not necessary to
experience every possible diagnostic characteristic, but simply sufficient
characteristics to eliminate the possibility of the bird being any other
species.

(i) Identification of the bird may be made after the initial encounter. It
is not always possible to secure a positive identification initially, but,
using physical and/or written documentation, identification is sometimes
possible after the fact, upon consultation of references and/or other
authorities. With very tricky identifications, for example, photographs or
recordings sometimes reveal minute, yet critical, details that were not
discernible during the initial encounter. Furthermore, our knowledge of how
to separate similar species in the field is continually advancing. On rare
occasions, a species may not be identifiable until after it has been
captured and studied in the hand, or had feather and blood samples
analyzed. In such instances of “after-the-fact” ID, the bird may be counted
on one’s lists.

but don't notice until they are reviewing photos later? That's fine for eBird,

[nysbirds-l] Roseate Spoonbill Update, July 29th--Dutches NO, Long Island YES

2021-07-29 Thread Donna Schulman
This news is based on messages from respective text alert groups:

Debbie van Zyl reports "no sign of the Spoonbill this morning" from
Wappingers Falls, Dutchess County.

Mary Beth Mills reports that the Long Island Spoonbill was at the south
side of Cold Spring Harbor this morning. If it sticks to its routine, it
will fly over to St. John's Pond, behind the church, late morning or around
noon.

Remote birding

If the bird is there, there it is. No matter how it is detected.

How that knowledge is used is a different matter.

eBird even has a category for accepting records derived from night calls
monitored by digital recording devices and introduced by later downloads
into the database.

But a bird viewed at a feeder cam isn't acceptable.

I can understand that we don't want several hundred reports of the same
vagrant at a feeder entered into the data. But at least one entry ought to
be acceptable. All the other duplicates (except perhaps for subsequent
dates ) could be disregarded. But, wait. Don't we accept dozens of reports
of the same rarity reported by many observers at a stakeout? This is how
programmers earn their keep.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Cold Spring Harbor Spoonbill Stuff

2021-07-29 Thread Joseph Borker
So seeing a bird thru the viewfinder of a mirror less camera does not count but 
thru a DSLR would count according to those rules. It maybe time to make some 
adjustments for new technologies.

By the way field biology studies use camera for various reasons including 
censuses

This question was asked and answered many years ago.  You can't count a bird 
for any life list that you see on television.  It's the same with today's video 
cams.  It's a reconstructed image via pixels.

There is a continuous progression:  the lens in your eye -> eye glasses -> 
lenses in binocular or telescope.

I suppose ABA needs rules on this sort of thing. When is a mental image

I'd recommend doing whatever you want, actually. It's your life list, after all.
