I currently receive the Ebird daily update for rare birds in my area. In those descriptions of birds seen in my area, I often see the term "continuing" used in the notes section at the bottom of the email. Birders who have seen these birds often leave just that word "continuing" in their notes section. Is this a term used for a flyover? Or is it something describing the fact that the bird has been seen multiple days in a row? I would greatly appreciate anyone who could enlighten me on this term.

Also, eBird usually requires photos or detailed ID notes for rare species to be confirmed. If notes have already been provided and the ID confirmed by previous observers, a birder will often write "continuing" in the notes section when reporting a rarity to indicate that the reviewer (or another birder) should look to previous reports for more detailed info if he wants it.
