I would also like encourage posting rarities to CoBirds even if they are submitted to eBird, however in practice I know this sometimes just doesn't happen, or doesn't happen as quickly as some might like. I myself have been guilty of this! So what's the solution?
I would encourage statewide RBA compilers to consider checking the Colorado Rare Bird Alerts in eBird. It's fast and easy to do, and eBird account holders can even have those alerts sent to their email addresses, either hourly or daily, if they so choose. Note that these alerts include more than just rarities: they are all of the birds "flagged" for confirmation during the eBird checklist submission process observed in the past 7 days. So all reported rarities as well as reports of unusually high counts and out-of-season birds will appear in these Alerts. To access the eBird Rare Bird Alert for Colorado, click here: http://ebird.org/ebird/alert/summary?sid=SN35566 You can also check county-level Rarity Alerts (and alerts for other states) by going here and typing in the county name to select that county in CO: http://ebird.org/ebird/alerts Good birding, Paul Hurtado Columbus OH and Pueblo CO <http://people.mbi.ohio-state.edu/hurtado.10> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
