Depending on the timing of our sightings, he/she either added or lost three others. When I saw them at Union they were definitely ground bound, along with some gulls right next to them.
I am curious as to why my Ross's sighting isn't showing up on eBird? It was marked as rare so I added a description. Just checked a few minutes ago and it's still not showing up at Union Reservoir. There was another sighting of a Ross's just a mile or so to the west as a flyover, and it got approved same day. Anyone either know why that is, or experienced a similar situation - same species being approved on one checklist, but not another?
