Fantasy football.
For birds.
Draft a roster of real species. Every week your starters score on how often birders actually saw them — pulled straight from eBird. Rare bird, huge multiplier. House Sparrow, pennies.

Rarity is the whole strategy
Every species is weighted by how often it is normally reported in your region. A crow at a thousand places is worth 0.1 a sighting. A bird usually seen once is worth 100 — if it shows.
Migration is the season
Species arrive and leave on a real calendar. Your star warbler has a bye in January because it is in Colombia. The waiver wire refills every spring.
Geography is a handicap
A league scoped to coastal BC plays a different pool, a different rarity curve and a different calendar from one scoped to Arizona.
