NMT Listing

[Chris]

I am wondering if anyone keeps an non-motorized transportation list and if so, what is the easiest way of keeping one? I tried looking if eBird has an option but it doesn't or I can't find it.

I don't keep one, and don't see the point really... Does Taking a walk after driving to a location count?

I do like biking places, since you can cover more ground while still getting things along the way (and is quieter than a car / less problems when stopping places)

eBird allows for "meta" accounts for keeping track of group things, so I imagine such an account could be made for your NMT list too. Just make sure to remove it from top100 etc.


The other options I can think of are:
1. Put a comment on each checklist, use the data download and excel filters to see where you are at.
2. Keep a paper or excel list
3. Keep it in your head (probably not going to work well 😳)

Hey Chris,

I keep an NMT list. What I do is what Jon recommends: I put a comment on each walking/biking checklist. If I have other checklist comments to make, I make sure "NMT" is first. When I download all my eBird data, then I can sort it by the comment column, copy the column with species names on NMT lists to a new sheet, then use the remove duplicates function in Excel.

Alternately, you could use a different eBird portal for those lists (say general eBird for most lists and eBird Canada for your NMT lists). You can download your data by portal.

Also, my first impression of the thread title was "NFT Listing," and I was hoping you weren't trying to sell some bird-related NFT (because I totally understand what they are....)
