There was one piece missing in my previous posting about the importance of records committees and that is - if there are no records there is nothing for the committee to do. I think the importance of written records sometimes get lost in this day of instant internet messaging and digital photography. This isn't an isloated problem. Folks over on the Texas birding groups are having the same discussion.
So, if you see what you think is a rare bird - DOCUMENT IT. Take written notes, make sketches, take photos/video/sound recordings (but not at the expense of the written documentation). When you've gotten it all prepared then make sure it gets sent to the proper people (be it the sightings editor of the Loon or the records committee). ===== Jeff Price Boulder, CO [email protected] __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
