Rarity classifications are Huck's own. Occurrence records are recent, coordinate-bearing human observations from GBIF (the Global Biodiversity Information Facility), filtered to the United States and to living sightings - no museum or fossil specimens. A species appears here only when a real, recent record turns up.
