Hi all Sharing another option available for Colorado eBird rare bird alerts. At http://www.friendsofthepawneegrassland.org/, left side menu, under Rare Bird Alerts, you'll find links to Weld and Colorado RBAs listed there plus one at bottom of list named "Rare Birds in Other Counties". This last link takes you to a new page with direct eBIrd RBA county links to remaining Colorado counties. Counties are grouped by their state county district. Still working on the page should be done later today or tomorrow at the latest.
One thing I noticed in looking through all county RBAs today is that most of the eBird RBA-reporting birders are along Front Range. A lot of counties had no reports last seven days. I believe we might have all assumed that but it got me thinking "what if there were just as many active eBirders in the birder-sparce reporting counties, maybe our State list would expand even greater" ;-) Thanks, Gary Lefko, Nunn http://www.friendsofthepawneegrassland.org On Wednesday, May 27, 2020 at 12:08:53 PM UTC-6, paddyo'bird wrote: > Thanks, Diana, and just for the record, the numbers on our volunteer team > had shrunk to the point that we no longer could compile in more frequent > weekly rotations and still have lives beyond the RBA. > We continue to marvel at how Joyce Takamine did this largely by herself > for more than a decade. > > Monumental task?
