Oh right, I didn't notice that before. eBird uses the red balloon for
public, blue balloon for personal sites when you click Find it on the Map. I
always assumed it was the same on species maps but I see it is not. Good to
know.

Red balloons are last thirty days, Blue balloons are all other records. Both
can include any number of individual records for that one exact location.
Records can be seen by clicking on a bubble.

 

Flame symbol indicates a hot spot whether red or blue.

Dave,

 

The red balloons are public hotspots where anyone can check-in observations
in and the blue ones are personal hotspots. The pointers are just indicative
of where that eBird hotspot is but they are for a variable amount of area so
they do not have pinpoint accuracy.

Hi Keith,

    I have not seen one of these plots before; very impressive. What is the
difference between a blue balloon and a red one ? Assuming the pointed end
is the location marker, nearly all are near salt water or in the warmer end
of the Annapolis Valley (when viewed at large scale); suggests aversion to
cold.

Hi Ron,

 

Welcome to the list. 

 

Northern Flickers are in range for overwintering in the western half of the
Nova Scotia mainland. 

 

You'll have to zoom in but this map shows eBirded Northern Flickers in
Jan/Feb for the last 10 years. Click on "Show Points Sooner" on the right
side of the page.

ok - its just a play on words.....

 

We've been hosting a Northern Flicker at our feeders this winter.

Yesterday my wife Heather heard a noise in the back yard and looked out to
see TWO Northern Flickers battling for a spot on our suet feeder. 

 

It seems odd to me that Flickers are now overwintering in the Maritimes.

Maybe it is a new climate change trend or perhaps they have always been
capable of withstanding our  cold temps but never had such an abundant
winter food source like they do now, given all the feeding stations around.
