Please note. . .

All certificates received by the Commission go through a review process to ensure count totals are correct and the rules of the program have been followed.  If enough rare birds have been listed to affect an applicant's certificate level, checklists may be returned to the applicant so they may check their list for errors before a certificate is awarded.

For a list of species countable towards Wings Over Florida certificates, refer to the official checklist.
