Rare Bird Alerts bot

The Birding IL eBird Rarities Bot will attempt to post to a channel named #ebird-alerts in any guild/server it is added to.

The eBird Recent notable observations API returns a lot of results that we don't really consider worth posting (e.g. high counts), so anything that matches the exclude list is filtered out.

Text in parenthesis is trimmed from the name before matching (e.g. (hybrid))
