This report is made possible by analyzing the many hundreds of checklists uploaded to eBird every month, identifying and merging sightings, and compiling these records into the required format. This process is almost entirely automated, with light editing by our team as needed. We hope that we did not overlook any eBird records of species listed in this report, and that the report is factually correct.
