[Tweeters] Quick Access to Rare Bird Sightings

[Louise via Tweeters]

Thanks, Carol. I'm aware that there are filters you can use on ebird for
notifications of sightings of rarities, but I've never managed to set them
up in a way that doesn't either miss things or spam me with everything.
I'll give the app a try and see if I can curate it any better.
