The very concept of this report is an AviSys Exclusive. Nobody else even tries anything like this! -- or the state/province summary below!
This report shows detail of the states and provinces in which each species has been seen by you. The states are depicted by vertically arranged state and province abbreviations across the top, AL for Alabama being listed first, and YT for Yukon Territory listed last. The state abbreviations are listed in the alphabetic order of the full state name, not the order for the abbreviation, so there will be some discrepancies in alphabetic sequence.
If you use the high speed Screen Viewer (shown here), you can click the crosshair cursor between two state columns to place a red guideline so you can easily see a particular state’s position in the column. Note the guideline set up between New Jersey and New Mexico in the illustration. (Because of the tight formatting, this viewer uses a fixed-pitch font.)
Each column has an ‘X’ when a species has been seen in the state heading that column, within the date range, etc., selected for the report.
In the case shown here, the user responded Yes to "Do you want to show checklist markers?" So, the state checklist status for each bird is also marked. The coding is thus expanded as follows: X means the bird was seen in the state and is in the state’s checklist. O means the bird was seen in the state and is not in the state’s checklist (an accidental). If the bird has not been seen in a state, it is marked + if it is in the checklist, and . if it is not.
Note the Glossy Ibis in the illustration. It has been called out as an accidental because it was recorded in California but is not in the California checklist. That accidental status shows up here as an O instead of an X.
Frankly, this report is tough to read. Nevertheless, it is the best way to present the required 61,000+ data points, taken four ways, in one report of single page width. If you have a lot of sightings in just a few states, then the state columns will become obvious to you. But, if you have many sightings in many states, then you will probably need a straight edge or the red guideline.
You might find the actual state summary to be much more useful. It is presented by itself, or at the end of the report when state detail is requested.

The top portion shows the checklist and seen counts for each of the states and provinces.
The bottom portion shows the regional seen counts and “total ticks,” as well as species seen counts, for various geographic areas of interest to birders. Total ticks are the summations of the species counts for the states and provinces in the areas defined.
