2026 runs through Sep 30, the end of the current eBird Basic Dataset release (for Travis's list since then, see Trends).
From the eBird Basic Dataset (relSep-2026), accepted records only. Species counts follow eBird's rules: subspecies count as their species; hybrids, “sp.” entries and escaped cage birds don't. Checklists are every checklist submitted, so a checklist shared by four birders counts four times. Species per checklist uses complete checklists (everything seen was reported) that were stationary or under 10 km and 5 hours, for counties with at least 50 of them.
How often a species is reported on complete checklists in Travis vs all of Texas, 2016–2026.
