The Bermuda Petrel was not eBirded but it the rarest bird we had in =
2014.

There were probably too many sightings for your purpose but I thought =
some of the post-Arthur birds we had visiting us were awesome such as =
the Black Skimmer, Gull-billed Tern (as well as other terns). You could =
also make a case for the Ash-throated Flycatcher =E2=80=93 Dartmouth and =
the Swainson=E2=80=99s Hawk =E2=80=93 Brier Island and Yarmouth

=20

Here is the best I can come up with in eBird. This is a High =
Count=E2=80=99s charter ordered by Count # so most of the rarer birds =
would near the beginning. Though Black Skimmer with a high count of 22 =
is an exception to this.

Hi All,

=20

I'm working on an assignment for school. The goal is to build, and host =
a map online via the ArcGIS Online environment. I thought it would be =
interesting to make a map of the top 10-20 bird sightings of 2014 in NS. =
I was wondering if anyone could offer ideas of what birds to include.=20

=20

The ones that stand out best to me are:

=20

1. Dusky Flycatcher in Greenwich

2. Eurasian Kestrel in Hartlen Point=20

3. Western Tanager in Middleton

4. Zone-Tailed Hawk in Brier Island

5. Mississippi Kite, Brier Island=20

=20

These are just the ones that are jumping to my mind. Are there any that =
you would like to see included? Is there a way to tease this information =
out of eBird without scrolling through pages and pages of records? I =
tried the ABA website, but I'm having an easier time finding recent =
information than year-long summary data with locations.


Thank you,

Ian=20
