You can use county, state, or country as location where you’re not particular but can be granular when desired. I often found hotspots at or very near some of my historical locations, simplifying entry, and once you create a personal location it’s ready to select for multiple visits to that site. If your dates are vague, you can use the catch-all January 1, 1900. The guidance in the eBird Help Center is great. Sure, it will take time, but you’ll likely find a rhythm and be done in weeks or months rather than years.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Scott Richardson<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none'>From:</span></b><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none'> Tweeters <tweeters-bounces@mailman11.u.washington.edu> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Trileigh Tucker via Tweeters<br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, December 3, 2024 17:02 PM<br><b>To:</b> tweeters@u.washington.edu<br><b>Subject:</b> [Tweeters] Life list software<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Palatino;color:black'>Hi Tweets,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Palatino;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Palatino;color:black'>I know this has been discussed, but archives searches using a variety of search terms didn’t turn up those conversations.

Using eBird’s “List-Building checklist” option looks like it will take approximately forever to include all the birds I have, even though my data are far fewer than what would be ideal for eBird: looking up on maps exactly where the sighting was, time of day for each sighting, recording each small area on a single checklist, recording each sighting for the same species in different locations, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Palatino;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Palatino;color:black'>I’d love to find an app or software that includes a world checklist, possibly organized by region (South America, Africa, etc., for instance), which I could tick and that could generate a single long numbered list. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Palatino;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Palatino;color:black'>Or perhaps eBird’s option really isn’t that onerous?
