SHARING YOUR eBIRD CHECKLISTS (and other bird/trip reports): Please SHARE your eBird checklists with us (with user/account called "LIS BirdCount") if they contain any birds you saw in Long Island Sound during the five-week count period of December 1st through January 5th.
This is the last weekend of the current "Long Island Sound Bird Count", and we will accept data sent to us (or eBird checklists Shared with us) for about another week after that. We have received a LOT of good data, including eleven Christmas Bird Counts along the LIS, and quite a few uncommon species. We will compile these data in mid-January, aiming to publish by end of month, at this website http://lisbirdcount.blogspot.com Many thanks to all the NY and CT birders who have contributed in many ways.

If you would like to join this project and contribute one or more LIS observations, please take a look at the following website and follow the instructions: http://lisbirdcount.blogspot.com Razorbills are one of the species we are searching for, because of their very abnormal migrations during the last two winters. Please help us with this by reporting on seabirds anywhere in Long Island Sound, in both CT and NY waters, anytime during December. This is a joint NY and CT project, with some inputs from RI at the eastern extreme of LIS. Thanks very much!
