How often we have called it on

We have not once called this on, across 6 Sunday builds. That is our own weekly verdict rather than a measurement of the trigger, and a condition that fires midweek can pass between two builds.

From the field

Flamingos after storms, painted buntings, snail kite wanderers — viral precisely because rare.
