Hi all, If you wanted to pre-register for Christmas Bird Counts on the CBC Website, it doesn't sound like that is going to happen this year. So, please contact the compiler(s) of counts you want to go on, as quickly as possible. This weekend's counts may be pretty cold (perhaps snowy too, in some areas). Be careful out there!
If you take photos of birds on Colorado CBCs this year, please post them on the Colorado CBC Photos Facebook page. This certainly helps the Regional Editor know, what has been photographed on Colorado Christmas Bird Counts. Count Week birding begins for the Saturday counts on Wednesday-Friday and for the Sunday counts on Thursday-Saturday. This year, with the cold weather on Count Days this weekend, it might be a good idea to look for stuff during Count Week, as some species may not still be around for Count Day. Compilers will put on the CBC Website (cw) for species not found on count day, though found during the count week period (three days before and three after, in their count circle). You can e-mail me photos of rare stuff if you need to, as well, just let me know, which count the photos are from, so I know. Remember to try to get photos of rare birds found during Count Day or Count Week, if possible. Certain species reported on Counts, that aren't documented in anyway, will have to be deleted. Documentation should include a written description of what the bird you saw looked like, and why and how you figured out that is what it was, and how you eliminated other species, that are more likely. CBRC State Review species found on Counts, have to be documented, just submit a record to the CBRC on the bird, and e-mail me a copy, so I know the bird was documented. Thanks and Good luck to everyone and have a safe Christmas Bird Count season. -- Brandon Percival Colorado CBC Regional Editor Pueblo West, CO [email protected] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
