Field notes
Players are told to tap a map location, with drag and zoom controls for navigating the map. The page describes a five-bird daily flock and 15-second rounds, and says scoring combines geographic closeness with speed. Its source notes credit the plates to Wikimedia Commons and range data to GBIF; the captured page could not load that day's birds.
