2018 Wisconsin Green Big Year list

Here's my final species list for my Green Big Year in 2018! See here for the end-of-year summary, or browse any of the posts from 2018 for stories and photos from the year. Below, I've also added a hyperlink to the corresponding post for the rare or especially cool species.

bold = lifer.
* = flagged as rare on eBird year-round where I saw it (i.e. I'm not counting out-of-season as rare). 
(*) = flagged as rare but it's really not rare if you know where to look (locally reliable in the right season).
** = not only flagged as rare, but also occurs less than annually where I saw it, so it's extra rare.
! = self-found rarity.
