another way to see these observations is to go to the Explore page on
eBird, then select Alerts, and look for eBird alerts for the relevant
region - the ABA area, state of Wisconsin, or whatever. this shows all
recent reports of eBird of rare species, regardless of whether the records
have been confirmed yet by an eBird reviewer. the key limitation here is
'recent', since this will show observations only from the past seven days -
but if what you are looking for is within this window, then this probably
is the most efficient way to tracking down observations of interest.
