MALE RED JUNGLEFOWL, BASSETERRE, ST KITTS, ST KITTS & NEVIS, 3/12/2024 - NEW PROVIONAL SPECIES TO EBIRD LIFE LIST

   We have recorded the Red Junglefowl at other locations, such as Key West, Florida.  The ABA allows it to be counted in Key West, but ebird does not.  However, in St Kitts it is allowed by ebird to be counted as a Provisional.  Thus, because of this our ebird Life List now stands at 1,118.
