Tim, thanks for always sharing the latest goodies at Fontenelle on NEBirds!FYI, the typical average precipitation amount in Iowa is significantly greater than in Nebraska, thus, many plants, insects, and breeding birds differ greatly, and it would be a dereliction of duty for a Neb. eBird reviewer to set their filters based on what an eBird reviewer in Des Moines does. It's not personal, they're just trying to keep the record credible.

FYI, another Cerulean Warbler was found in Des Moines ( and confirmed without a photo or recording being required, I might add) on May 5. Since eBird here eliminated my Cerulean report (from yesterday) immediately from the NE rarity page, I will put my checklist from yesterday here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S234003464 It contains my report of the Cerulean.
