With the USPS delays these days, it's possible that some of the paper lists haven't found their way into my mailbox. So I'm extending the submission deadline to this Saturday, March 7, 2021. If you sent a paper form and did NOT get an acknowledgment from me, please let me know ASAP via email: car...@prodigy.net I try to acknowledge every online submission as well, so if you didn't hear from me after submitting, feel free to ask. Since I'm holding off on the compilation until this weekend, if the spring weather (or anything else) made you miss the deadline, feel free to submit your data online ASAP (but no later than 3/7). The more the merrier I get! The link to the online form ishttps://nybirds.org/CountyLists/web2020/CountyReportingForm2020.html
For more details, see below. Carena The County and State Listing Project is a fun, friendly competition run by NYSOA started in 1992, it continues to attract new participants every year. Some of our first county listers have not missed a single year since the beginning (watch out, you might get hooked!). Here’s how it works: After the close of each calendar year, participants send in their LIFE list totals for all of NYS, and/or the 10 Kingbird regions, and/or the 62 counties, and/or the PELAGIC ZONE (PZ). In addition, we have one YEAR list category – for the entire state. You can send in just one number or as many as 75, or anywhere in between – it’s your choice depending on where you’ve birded and what records you’ve kept. A compilation is produced annually and published in NYSOA’s newsletter and also on the NYSOA website at http://nybirds.org/ProjCountyLists.html. Forms, a map of the ten Kingbird regions, and details on the new Pelagic Zone are available on that web page also. Join in on the fun and see where you stand – statewide, region by region, county by county – in comparison with other birders all over the state (and even outside the state). To see what the annual compilation looks like, check out the archive at http://nybirds.org/ProjCountyLists.html. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
