Hey Listers!
It's NYSOA County & State Listing time again! If you want to get your numbers into the 2020 report, don't miss the March 1 deadline. Data may be submitted online (preferably) at https://nybirds.org/ProjCountyLists.html or via USPS. Remember, reports submitted in previous years are NOT automatically carried forward. If you want your results included, you must submit your report, even if your numbers haven't changed since the last one you sent in. And don't forget to get your NYSOA membership renewal in if you haven't done so already. IF YOU'RE NEW TO THIS and would like to know more, please read on. Do you have a teensy little tendency to be competitive? Or maybe you're just curious? See where your New York State and county life list totals place compared with others! THE BASICS: After the close of each calendar year, participants send in their life list totals for the entire state, NYSOA's 10 "Kingbird" regions, and/or the 62 counties and/or the new Pelagic Zone. You can send in just one number or as many as 75, or anywhere in between - it's your choice depending on where you've birded and what records you've kept. You can submit your data online (preferably) at <https://nybirds.org/ProjCountyLists.html> nybirds.org/ProjCountyLists.html or via email or US Mail. The deadline for online submissions and postmarks is March 1, 2021. A compilation is produced annually and published in NYSOA's newsletter and also on the NYSOA website at <https://nybirds.org/ProjCountyLists.html> nybirds.org/ProjCountyLists.html. Online & printable forms, plus a map of the ten Kingbird regions of the state, are available on that web page also. eBirders, check our website for tips for getting your report numbers from eBird: https://nybirds.org/CountyLists/ebirdhow.html THE ONLY REQUIREMENT TO PARTICIPATE is that you be a 2021 member of NYSOA or one of its member clubs, or a 2021 Youth Member of the NYS Young Birders Club. Join in on the fun - but don't miss the deadline!
