I believe that the reason is that so far the eBird reviewers for that region have not confirmed any of the sightings reported in eBird. The eBird outputs --- at least the maps --- will only directly display these flagged rarities after they have been given a status of "confirmed" by regional reviewers.
However, you can see the checklists with flagged species, if you can guess at another species that is also present on the same checklist, display all of the checklists with this "surrogate" species, and then by trial and error check all of the these checklists containing reports of the surrogate until you find one with the flagged species on it. For example, by searching for all recent checklists from the general area with Mallards, I found this checklists with a Common Shelduck photo: https://ebird.org/wi/checklist/S92590436 Wesley -----Original Message----- From: bounce-125804771-3494...@list.cornell.edu <bounce-125804771-3494...@list.cornell.edu> On Behalf Of Carl J.

However when I search for this species on eBird it doesn't show. Does anyone know why this is?
