I've had a question about this and tallies on this list as well. Are all
tallies valuable even if they weren't posted by professional ornithologists?
What about possible misidentifications from less experienced birders? And how
valuable are lists that cover a well-observed area and may miss a lot of
species a better birder would have IDd?
