[Birdnet] Request for Winter Reports for North American Birds

[Rick Fridell]

Hello Nevada and Utah birders,

It's time to submit your winter 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 December 1, 2006 to February 28, 2007. Details (and
photographs) on observations of state review birds are very much
appreciated. There have been several great birds reported this winter,
including Utah's first confirmed Western Gull.  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 Spring!

Best Regards,

Rick Fridell
