Joe, I had a problem with sending in a message to Cobirds last year. Ira Sanders called me from, I believe, Chico Basin, with several good birds. He asked that I send them in to Cobirds. I did this, using my daughter's iPhone. And I used my name and home base of Centennial in my message. However, they were never printed and I was never contacted for more information. I appreciate your informative post. But we have problems already with reports from afield.

Yes, when reporting a sighting it is wise to include the county name in the
subject line. Very helpful.
And I also agree with Steve Stachowiak The implication of a quick phoned-in
note is, "Stay tuned for more details, I am busy
collecting a DNA sample."
We can help each other by reading such a post from somewhere out in the
Boondocks, recognizing where the call is coming from and perhaps sending a
quick note to Cobirds
explaining more details about how to get there.
An example:
"Congrats to Big Bob Birder and his cousin, Marybelle, for finding Barred
Owls at "Maggie's Farm!"
For those of you unfamiliar with Maggies's Farm, that freeholding is in
Cheyenne County. Detailed directions to Maggie's Farm (where no one works
no more) are copied here from the CFO County Birding website:
*<<Picturesque Maggie's Farm has been a Cheyenne County birding hot spot
for over six months now. It has been *
*good for eastern passerines and the habitat looks great for Tufted
Titmouse and who knows, even Barred Owl is possible.*
*Directions:*
*Drive 5.22 miles east of Cheyenne Wells on Highway 40, past the airfield,
then watch for 44 Road. Maggie's Farm *
*(fee area) is on the southeast corner of Highway 40 and 44 Road.*
*DeLorme page 103.*
*>>* Please do not play a Barred Owl tape or handle the nestlings.
Good birding,
Full name, city, and state, here.

I would hope that there is still some leniency granted for those posts
that may be lacking in correct protocol that are made on the fly from a
cell phone in a remote location with bad coverage in order to get the word
out on a good bird, even if those pesky four letter banding codes are used.

I would also add, there are a number of volunteers who try and extract
information from COBirds for  CFO's quarterly journal and for ABA's North
American Birds.  These volunteers are regional and have specific counties
they cover.  It makes it much easier on them if they can search COBirds by
the county as searching by a city name is really not feasible.  You
may occasionally have reports for multiple counties, if you at least list
all the counties in the body of the email they will get found by a search.

There are 64 counties in Colorado and county listing is popular among
COBirders.  Others are only interested in their local patch, so a quick
scan of the subject line in all that is needed.**** ****
Thanks all and keep the posts coming.  And remember all emails need a
