I definitely chose the feral option - so they must just have a bug in the new system. I thought it was faintly ridiculous to justify my 13 pigeon count for FeederWatch ;)

eBird recently made changes to how how exotic species are displayed:https://ebird.org/news/important-changes-to-exotic-species-in-ebirdWhen searching for Rock Pigeon I now see two entries in the eBird app. `Rock Pigeon` and `Rock Pigeon (Feral Pigeon)`. What you are seeing is probably people incorrect reporting the first, which would indeed be rare, rather than reporting the second, the more likely feral population.--On Saturday, February 25, 2023 at 8:49:37 AM UTC-5 Jill wrote:Does anyone know why FeederWatch and eBird are sometimes tagging pigeons as rare on bird counts? Because as much as I wish they were…they sure aren't.
