Just a quick reminder to get your 2020 lists in! The link to the online form ishttps://nybirds.org/CountyLists/web2020/CountyReportingForm2020.html There is also a link at the top of that page for the printable form you can mail in. Remember, no reports submitted in previous years are automatically carried into the next. If you want to be listed, you must submit your report, even if your numbers haven’t changed since the last one you sent in.
For more details, see below. Awaiting your list with bated breath! Unless you've already sent it in, in which case I thank you sincerely!Carena TheCounty and State Listing Project is a fun, friendly competition run by NYSOA started in 1992, it continues to attract new participants every year. Some ofour first county listers have not missed a single year since the beginning(watch out, you might get hooked!). Here’s how it works: After the close of each calendar year, participants sendin their LIFE list totals for all of NYS, and/or the 10 Kingbird regions, and/or the62 counties, and/or the PELAGIC ZONE (PZ). In addition, we have one YEAR list category – for the entire state. You cansend in just one number or as many as 75, or anywhere in between – it’s yourchoice depending on where you’ve birded and what records you’ve kept. Acompilation is produced annually and published in NYSOA’s newsletter and alsoon the NYSOA website at http://nybirds.org/ProjCountyLists.html.Forms, a map of the ten Kingbird regions, and details on the new Pelagic Zoneare available on that web page also. Joinin on the fun and see where you stand – statewide, region by region, county bycounty – in comparison with other birders all over the state (and even outsidethe state). To see what the annual compilation looks like, check out thearchive at http://nybirds.org/ProjCountyLists.html. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
