I have had a lot of questions about why rare birds on private property have not been listed on the RBA. The RBA is mainly for birders who want to see the birds listed so if a bird is on private property, the RBA compiler has to get permission from the owner and find out if and how he/she wants to be notified. If someone reports a rare bird to CoBirds and give no indication that birders are welcome it is at the discretion of the compiler to contact the reporter about permission to list on the RBA. If you have a rare bird and would welcome birders it would save time if you would say so in your post. If you simply report a rare bird on your property that could imply that you do not welcome birders and so your bird would not be listed on the RBA.
