Hi Tim,
The eBird filters go by county, so in Baltimore they are still on the "common" list but in Hartford they have been deemed "late" at this point I suppose. These filters are set on an individual county basis, and often by different volunteers I believe, which may be why in some cases there is some variation between neighboring counties (aside from factors like eco-region or hotspots for specific species..)

Subject: [MDBirding] EBird filter and Yellow Palm Warbler
Maybe one of the reviewers can respond to this. I found a bright Yellow Palm Warbler at Susquehanna on May 3--listed as "rare" on eBird for this location. So I had to give an explanation, etc., etc. Today I submitted checklists to eBird for two different locations locations near Loch Raven Res.--in these two cases, I noticed that Yellow Palm was on the regular list (not "rare"). Can someone tell me why? I'm curious to know, especially since Susquehanna is such a good migration spot in general. Thanks.
