Time flies! Today is the deadline for getting your 2021 listing data in! The link to the online form is https://nybirds.org/CountyLists/web2021/CountyReportingForm2021.html
A big THANK YOU to all who have submitted their numbers. If you haven't, please get them in today. Or, if there are extenuating circumstances that prevent you from getting them in today, please drop me a line and let me know. I occasionally have reasonable tendencies. :) For more details, see below. Carena------------------------------------------- The County and State Listing Project is a fun, friendly competition run by NYSOA started in 1992, it continues to attract new participants every year. Some of our 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 send in their LIFE list totals for all of NYS, and/or the 10 Kingbird regions, and/or the 62 counties, and/or the PELAGIC ZONE (PZ). In addition, we have one YEAR LIST category – for the entire state - and a SELF-FOUND list category for the year (the number of species you found in 2021 without being alerted to them by others or by eBird alerts or other rare bird alerts). You can send in just one number or as many as 76, or anywhere in between – it’s your choice depending on where you’ve birded and what records you’ve kept. A compilation is produced annually and published in NYSOA’s newsletter and also on the NYSOA website at http://nybirds.org/ProjCountyLists.html. Forms, a map of the ten Kingbird regions, and details on the new Pelagic Zone are available on that web page also. Join in on the fun!
