If you haven't sent in your numbers yet, why not take care of it while the weather is uncooperative this weekend?
*Data may be submitted online (which saves me a lot of work) at * https://nybirds.org/ProjCountyLists.html* or received by me via USPS by March 1st (if you are unable to submit your data online).* Remember, if you want any of your results included, you must submit your report, even if your numbers haven’t changed since the last one you sent in. And don’t forget to renew your NYSOA membership if you haven’t done so already. If there's something seriously keeping you from getting your report in on time, please email me (car...@prodigy.net) and let me know. Thanks! Carena Pooth NYSOA County Listing Coordinator New York State Ornithological Association PS - If you have already submitted your report and did not receive an email acknowledgment from me, please let me know so I can track it down. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ IF YOU’RE NEW TO THIS and would like to know more, please read on. Do you have a teensy little tendency to be competitive? Or maybe you’re just curious? See where your New York State and county life list totals stand compared with others'! THE BASICS: After the close of each calendar year, participants send in their life list totals for the entire state, NYSOA’s 10 “Kingbird” regions, and/or the 62 counties and/or the new Pelagic Zone. 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. You can submit your data online (preferably) at nybirds.org/ProjCountyLists.html or via email or US Mail. The deadline for online submissions and postmarks is *March 1, 2023*. A compilation is produced annually and published in NYSOA’s newsletter and also on the NYSOA website at nybirds.org/ProjCountyLists.html. Online & printable forms, plus a map of the ten Kingbird regions of the state, are available on that web page also. eBirders, check our website for *tips for getting your report numbers from eBird: * https://nybirds.org/CountyLists/ebirdhow.html THE ONLY REQUIREMENT TO PARTICIPATE is that you be a 2023 member of NYSOA or one of its member clubs, or a 2023 Youth Member of the NYS Young Birders Club. Join in on the fun – but don’t miss the deadline! -- 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/ --
