Seasonal Trends

Read it like a leaderboard: each week's tallest bar is that week's most-detected species, over a rolling 26-week window. Gray Catbird wins so often it gets bumped to its own scale up top so it doesn't flatten everyone else — below the line, tallest bar is the runner-up. It's each species' share of the week's total, not raw counts, so a mic change or a rainy week can't fake a seasonal trend.
