Hi all, Another option, though somewhat cumbersome, is to look at your day list for the date of the CBC. To do this, click on the "Sightings Lists" link underneath the "Explore My..." list on the left side of the main My eBird page. Here's a link to the lists page: https://ebird.org/MyEBird?cmd=lifeList&time=life&listType=world
On the top bar, click on the calendar icon and select the date you desire. While the number of individuals seen of each species is not visible here, you can view it by clicking on the "View All" button to the right of each species within this list and noting the total at the top of the page. Not as convenient as the Summarize My Observations option, but still workable.
