'Neither 1 nor 20 checklists' when no birds reported #79

Open IJBG opened 4 months ago

IJBG commented 4 months ago

Chatham 2024 gives an alert that "neither 1 nor 20 checklists" because 3-12 has no birds on the checklist, and therefore gets filtered out somewhere: https://ebird.org/checklist/S142701475 When I filter mbbs_chatham to route_num == 3 and year == 2024, there's no row where the location column is stop 12.

As these routes have a full 20 checklists, I think this is also what is happening with Orange 8 2023 and 2021.

Thoughts on how to fix this issue or otherwise 'resolve' the warnings for these checklists during import?

Through the ebird API, there must be a way to get checklists even if they are empty

This error will be fixed by having stops recorded in survey_list and mbbs_survey_events

I looked again at the ebird API and I don't see a way to do this. Bummer.
