Thanks for the info! I was referring to the email list, but that's cool
that you can put alerts for rare birds in your area. Thanks!

If you mean notice about the Ross' Goose, yes. You can go to eBird then My
eBird then scroll down to the bottom of the right hand column and choose
Manage My Alerts. From there, you can set up alerts by county or state for
rare birds or birds that you have not seen before. After adding the alerts
you want, you can then view them above and click on Change to choose
whether you want them sent to you hourly or daily. Hourly helps for rare
birds alerts so that you have a chance to see them before they are gone. If
you mean the list, then yes, it is an eBird list that I sent via email.
Hope this helps!

Hi All,

Peter Keyel round a Ross’ Goose at McAlister today that is hanging out
with a couple of Cackling Geese. The birds are sparse today, but there is
lots of variety. Besides the birds another highlight was a swarm of bees
that must be looking for a new home :) Full list and pics below.
