Buyer beware? Don't know latin but think the lesson would be better
phrased something like caveat avis vigil!
Anyway, I usually don't get too excited about unconfirmed ebird reports
of rare birds unless they are from a birder I know or the comments
provided suggest it wasn't an accident or beginner's error, and also
indicate the reporter realizes the bird is rare. The comments here did
suggest it wasn't entered accidentally and the birder did realize it was
a rarity.
