[Birdnet] Request for Summer Reports for North American Birds

[Rick Fridell]

Nevada and Utah birders,

It's time to submit your summer bird sightings for inclusion in North
American Birds (ABA's 'Quarterly Journal of Ornithological Record'
http://www.americanbirding.org/pubs/nab/. Please send details on all vagrant
birds, seasonally or regional rare species, unusual high (or low) numbers,
etc. observed from June 1, 2006 to July 31, 2006. Details (and photographs)
on observations of state review birds are very much appreciated. There have
been several significant nesting records and many other great birds reported
this summer, including Utah's first confirmed Glossy Ibis.  Many of you
correctly assume I monitor the listserves and receive much of the
information you post there, however it is often difficult to glean details
of the sightings from these posts (e.g. observers, how long a rare bird
sticks around, etc.). The only way to ensure your sightings are accurately
included is to submit details in your quarterly reports. Information on
submitting reports can be found at the following sites
http://www.gbbo.org/submit.htm and
http://www.americanbirding.org/pubs/nab/guidelines.html .

Many thanks to those who have already submitted their reports, and I look
forward to receiving the rest of your reports.

Enjoy the fall migration!

Best Regards,

Rick Fridell
