[Birdnet] Request for Spring Reports for North American Birds

[Rick Fridell]

Nevada and Utah birders,

It's time again to submit your spring 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 March 1, 2006 to May 31, 2006. Details (and photographs)
on observations of state review birds are very much appreciated. The fall
issue is finalized, and includes your sightings and several great
photographs by area birders including Greg Scyphers, Milton Moody, and Tim
Avery. 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
included is to submit details in your quarterly reports. Information on
submitting reports can be found at the following sites
http://www.americanbirding.org/pubs/nab/guidelines.html and
http://www.gbbo.org/submit.htm . Many thanks to those who have already
submitted their reports.

Enjoy the summer birding.

Best Regards,
