More accurate bird regions #9

Closed mitchbeebe closed 6 months ago

mitchbeebe commented 6 months ago

This PR closes issue #6 by changing the endpoint used to associate birds with regions from GET Species List for a Region to GET Recent observations in a region. The Django admin command will be scheduled to refresh the bird-regions once per week late at night to avoid peak traffic.

In short, this means the regional daily bird is drawn from the population of recently observed species in a region rather than any species ever seen in the region. Exotic observations–defined as naturalized, provisional, or escapee species–are also excluded.
