Hi Beverly! I think what constitutes a "good list of rare birds" is highly personalized to the birder. Since I live in Larimer County and don't have a driver's license yet, I am not too concerned about things that happen say, in Pueblo County or Mesa County. I *do* care about what's being seen in Larimer County, however, so in light of this, I went through the steps shown above in my first post to subscribe to the daily Larimer Rare Bird Alert as well as the Larimer Needs Alert. I think I should mention that the ebird engine sort of determines what constitutes "rare" at various times of the year. For example, we all know that American White Pelicans are pretty common birds...in the right time of year. So, a Pelican reported on Christmas Day would be a pretty big deal, because that's "rare"...as in "out of place rare." Maybe you aren't finding lists with "good birds" because you need to also subscribe to the Needs Alert for your desired regions. That way, you can see everything from uncommon to rare. *The birds are happy, and so am I* *~Caleb Alons, Larimer County*
