Hello, birders,
Recently was curious about Common Crane, *Grus grus*, so looked it up at Wikipedia. A distribution map shows it all across Siberia. click here. <http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b9/Verbreitungskarte_des_Kranichs.png> One showed up in Roswell, NM in December. A birder down there dubbed it, “Dumb Ivan.” I also looked at an eBird Species Map for this species, click here <http://ebird.org/ebird/map/comcra?neg=true&env.minX=&env.minY=&env.maxX=&env.maxY=&zh=false&gp=false&ev=Z&mr=1-12&bmo=1&emo=12&yr=all&byr=1900&eyr=2015>. No Common Crane in Siberia? More likely no eBirders in Siberia. Moral of the story: take eBird Species Maps with a grain of salt. They provide a lot of helpful information, but are not the end of the story.
