Rare bird sightings are reviewed and may not show up for a few days or even weeks. If you want to see unreviewed rare bird sightings, you need to sign up for their rare bird alert emails. I get the daily report for Ontario, which comes at about 3:00pm.

There were 2 reports (so far) today and one from yesterday. There has also been a sighting of the Spotted Towhee today.
