 * This page is just an example of a situation where Google search engine finds 
   only 38 pages indexed and 191 not indexed when I don’t see what the difference
   is. Boreal Owl page is indexed. Clicking that takes to its page, where there 
   is another link and 2 video links. Clicking Saw-whet Owl and the page has 2 videos
   and a link but is not indexed. I don’t think any of the other Owls are either.
   I’ve gone back and forth looking at indexed page trying to see what is different
   from non-indexed and can’t find anything.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Findexing-problem-10%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello [@robirdman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robirdman/)
 * Thanks for reaching out about the indexing of your pages. Both Boreal Owl and
   [Saw-whet Owl](https://theearlybirder.org/saw-whet-owl/) are indexed. [See screenshot](https://pasteboard.co/3qcvqkF0RCd0.png).
 * > I don’t think any of the other Owls are either.
 * You can perform a site search like this, site:url, for the other owl links to
   determine if they’re truly not indexed.
 * > only 38 pages indexed and 191 not indexed 
 * Can you share some of those 191 pages Google Search Console reported as not indexed.
 * I look forward to hearing from you.

 * After opening a new browser and going to google search console, I still see saw-
   whet in the list of non-indexed. I wanted to paste screen shot of page showing
   in the list but says blocked. Are attachments also, because I could show thus.

 * If [Saw-whet Owl](https://theearlybirder.org/saw-whet-owl/) still shows as not
   indexed, you should validate the fix in Google Search Console .

 * I had replied before, not sure why it didn’t show up. trying again. Strangely,
   before it had 191 not indexed pages, but only about 38 indexed After deleting
   a lot of galleries, now it has over a hundred more non-indexed, and a new status,
   not crawled. Here are some examples. I sonder why some are listed twice such 
   as caprimulgiformes both with and without / following.
