I agree that these exotic waterfowl have no place on any rare bird alert (you'll never see them on my South Florida Rare Bird Update). What I don't know is if Team eBird at Cornell would be willing and able to develop a process by which local eBird reviewers could exclude these sightings from rare bird alerts without excluding them from the database itself. I'd be interested in hearing the pros and cons of this idea.
