Just a friendly PSA that eBird will be down for server upgrades starting 8am ET on 17 November until 8am ET on 19 November. More details here: https://ebird.org/news/database-update-november-17-19-maintenance
You can still use the eBird app to log your checklists, you just won't be able to submit them right away. With the number of rare birds around in Ontario right now those two days might feel like an eternity...don't forget to post your sightings here or Ontbirds (when appropriate).
