[Tweeters] Life list software

Trileigh,

 

eBird's list-building option may be the most flexible long term. 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.

Hi Tweets,

 

I know this has been discussed, but archives searches using a variety of
search terms didn't turn up those conversations. And perhaps there are new
resources at this point anyway?

 

I'd like to start filling out a life list that includes trips that go years
back. 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.

 

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. 

 

Or perhaps eBird's option really isn't that onerous? Has anyone used it for
a project like this?

 

Thanks for any ideas. And if it's simply a matter of cranking slowly through
the eBird system one by one, then that's what I'll do, and will report back
when I'm 96.

 

Good birding (and listing) to all!

Trileigh
