Is there a Rare Bird Alert account on mastodon anywhere? Because I could read about things like this all damn day.

@mathowie You might be able to use the ebird API to mostly automate it. Any moderately serious birder seeing something rare will report it to ebird.

@chrisod this feels like a fun project, the api looks good https://pypi.org/project/ebird-api/

@mathowie I’m super casual when it come to birding, but I’d love this. I actually spotted a rare bird a few years ago, a vagrant painted bunting near DC, and it caused a commotion among the more serious birders. The Washington Post wrote an article about it, but they credited the god damn Swiss ambassador with spotting it.
