1 Explanation of
Filters:
"All" lists all 380 species seen or heard.
"Exclude Exotics" lists the 376 non-Exotic species seen or heard.
"Include missed species (non-exotic)" lists 376 non-Exotic species along with the 15 species missed
but observed in the state by others during 2022. This constitutes a complete list of all ABA-countable
species recorded in eBird in Washington during 2022.
"Missed species only" lists the 15 non-Exotic species observed in the state by others but not by us.
"Seen once" lists the species which we observed only once, or at least recorded on only one checklist,
during the year.
"Rare/difficult" lists the species which in Brian's opinion are either rare or not usually easy to
find even in suitable habitat in the state. These, along with the "Seen once" species, are the ones
to prioritize if doing a big year in Washington.
"Heard only" are the species which we identified by call or song but did not see.
2 Species taxonomy is based on the
64th supplement + to the AOU Check-list of North American Birds
published July 2023.
3 Dates in the
Journal column are links to entries in Brian's online journal including
commentary and/or photos about the initial sighting for the species. As noted in the journal, all photos
were taken by Darchelle unless otherwise attributed.
4 Similar to the Journal column, dates under
Additional Photos are links to journal
entries with commentary and/or photos about additional sightings of the species.
5 Explanation of
Notes
"Heard only" indicates that neither of us saw the bird but were able to identify it by
call or song.
"B Heard only" indicates that although Darchelle saw the bird, Brian only heard it.
"Photo by" with initials indicates that Brian included a photo by someone other than Darchelle
in the journal entry, with attribution in the journal entry Itself.
"Id by D" indicates that Brian saw or heard the bird with Darchelle but not well enough to identify it.
She described what she saw or heard at the time to Brian who confirmed her identification.
"Id by others" indicates that neither Darchelle nor Brian saw the bird well enough or at close
enough range to identify it, but that other people (including spotters on the pelagic trip) viewing
the same bird at the same time were able to identify it.
"Id by photos" describes a situation where Darchelle saw the bird through the spotting scope,
identified it and got photos while Brian, watching without optics, was unable to distinguish the
bird from others in the flock but was able to confirm its presence and identity from Darchelle's
photos. Including these birds in Brian's list is a concession made because his disability prevents
him from standing to look through the scope; he saw the bird but was unable to pick it out due to
his inability to use optics.
