Every layer, labeled for what it is
Today the map shows one thing: real sightings. As we add modeled and community layers, each will carry its own badge and never be dressed up as a sighting. This is the rule, live now and for everything we add.
Real, research-grade observations with a real date and place. The dots on the map.
Seasonal likelihood from a model — coarse and clearly caveated. A supporting layer, never the map’s core.
Sightings shared by birders. Sensitive species are blurred automatically — we never burn a nest.
