Many thanks to those who have already submitted their reports! The NYSOA (New York State Ornithological Association) County and State Listing Project is accepting birders data for 2014. If you wish to get your numbers into the 2014 report, dont miss the March 1 deadline. Data may be submitted online, via fax, via email, or via USPS. If youre new to this and it sounds interesting, the details are summarized below. Participation in this fun, friendly competition is open to anyone who is a 2015 member of NYSOA or one of NYSOAs member clubs or the NYS Young Birders Club. Started in 1992 by Berna Lincoln, the project continues to engage many participants across the state, some of whom have not missed a single year since the beginning. The ultimate objective of the project is to encourage birders of all levels to get out and bird the many varied habitats of New York State and report their sightings throughout the year to local clubs, NYSOAs regional editors, and eBird. After the close of each calendar year, participants send in their life list totals for the entire state, the 10 Kingbird regions, and/or the 62 counties. You can send in just one number or as many as 74, or anywhere in between its your choice depending on where youve birded and what records youve kept. A compilation is produced annually and published in NYSOAs newsletter and also on the NYSOA website at http://nybirds.org/ProjCountyLists.html. Forms and a map of the ten Kingbird regions of the state are available on that web page also. Join in on the fun but dont miss the deadline! And remember, no reports submitted in previous years are automatically carried into the next published list. If you want to be listed, you must submit your report, even if your numbers havent changed since the last one you sent in.
