By hour of day
Counts reflect vocal activity and ambient noise, not abundance.
Recent days
Daily counts. Seasonal bars replace this once there is a year of records to draw them from.
Where heard
Home and away are counted separately everywhere except here.
Where it has been seen
Recorded sightings from GBIF, not a range map. BirdWeather has no range polygon for this species — introduced and feral populations often have none, since the range they would be drawn against is not the one they live in. This shows where people have actually reported it: 18,193 records. It is partly a map of where people go birding.

Highest-confidence detections first. Confidence is a threshold, not a probability of being correct.
