MISSBIRDers:
Its time to send your winter (December-February) season records to me. They
should reach me by 20 March or sooner in order to insure that they make
the deadline for the winter season report in "North American Birds" (aka
"Field Notes", aka "American Birds"). Records received after this date can
still be included in "Birds Around the State", but timely submission of
records is strongly encouraged. Drop me an E-mail if you need any blank
"Bird Record Cards" or "Rare Bird Report Forms" on which to submit your
records. We'd love to have your records.
What bird records should be turned in? Turn in any records of uncommon or
rare species, arrival or departure dates, unusual numbers of individuals, or
any other record of interest. Your record can have state-wide significance
or just be a good record for your neck of the woods. Records of species on
the Mississippi Review List should be submitted with full details as on a
"Rare Bird Report Form". A copy of the 'Review List' and 'Rare Bird Report
Form'
can be accessed at:
http://www.missbird.org/Resources.htm<http://www.mississippiornithologicalsociety.com/Resources.htm>
All records submitted are archived and become part of the permanent file of
bird records available for the future study of Mississippi Birds. Note
that birds reported in your posts to MISSBIRD do NOT become part of
Mississippi's ornithological record unless you also submit the record on a
Bird Record Card (or similar card) or Rare Bird Report Form.
Thanks.
