I don't equate "interesting" with "rare". Rare birds are often well-characterized - not least of all in weekly RBA posts. Interesting birds (self-defined) run a much larger gamut than that, and I can point to a lot of eBird checklists where there's no additional context whatsoever for such

I find most people reporting to eBird are pretty good about including context (location etc) in the comments field - not least because when it's a genuine rarity eBird mandates some kind of commentary. In fact, I'd say once a rarity has had its initial few ebird reports, further comments tend to

The current intent of the list as given on the list's website is not what Kevin McGowan indicated may or may not be the original intent - and I've pointed this out recently - its even linked at the end of every message. Certainly this has not been a purely RBA list for quite some time - although

Daily lists are great and as I mentioned previously E-bird is an excellent place to record such data. If everyone posted their Central Park lists to NYSBIRDS-L it would certainly dilute the power of the list. See Kevin McGowan's post here
