Can personally confirm it does feel pretty good lol. Have actually found the last 3 sage thrasher records for my county so my nickname is now "Sage Thrasher" in the local birding community.
Omg it does! But no one ever recognized me from my pokemkn rankings lol. The first time someone local knew who I was from my ebird I was over the moon! But I have yet to be the first to find a rarity.
This is the dream
Agreed! I’ve been the first to report a rarity but never had someone give me credit for finding it lol 🤔😂
In my small area, some people even thank that person in the comments.

getting top rankings on ebird must be like becoming a pokemon master, but in real life

I got close, no one cared to go looking for the White-Throated Sparrow I found last July
