Dear Ontbirds subscribers and OFO members,
This message has been approved by the Ontbirds moderator. The Ontario Bird Records Committee (OBRC) is holding its Annual General Meeting Sunday April 2nd. The OBRC meets in-person once per year at the AGM, where items up for discussion include the review and final voting on records submitted by OFO members and the Ontario birding community, a review of the review lists previously identified by past committees (http://ofo.ca/site/Obrc), and the election of new OBRC members. The OBRC looks to the Ontario birding community for comments, suggestions, and critique. The OBRC will be nominating 2 new members to 3 year terms, commencing this year. The OBRC at this time would welcome nominations from OFO members for people to serve on the OBRC. Nominees should be OFO members in good standing, be actively engaged in the Ontario birding community, and positively support the OBRC through various means (e.g., submitting rare bird reports, provide information/documentation to the OBRC, etc.). Additionally, the OBRC would welcome any nominations for additions/deletions to the current OBRC review lists (for all zones and subspecies). The OBRC would welcome a list of records of species/subspecies that are suggested over the past 5 year period as a way for the OBRC to accurately identify species/subspecies to be removed or added to the review lists. Nominations for OBRC members and additions/deletions to the review list are required by March 26, 2016. All communication should be directed to *obrcsecret...@gmail.com. <obrcsecret...@gmail.com.>* Kind regards, Ken Burrell OBRC Chair kenneth.gd.burr...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
