Dear Texbirders and TOS members,

 

The spring reporting season for North American Birds (NAB) has come to
an end. This is a plea/request for observers to submit their interesting
Texas sightings to us in preparation for the Texas portion of the
report.

 

North American Birds is published four times a year by the American
Birding Association and contains seasonal sightings/summaries for just
about all regions of North America, including Canada, the US, Mexico as
well as central America and some of the Caribbean islands.   More
information about North American Birds can be found at:

 

  http://www.aba.org/nab/ 

 

The spring season extends from 1 March to 31 May and we would like to
receive your reports of interesting bird sightings for this period by no
later than 15 June. Please send your sightings DIRECTLY TO The
SUB-REGIONAL EDITOR listed below. Some of you might assume that a
Texbirds post, or even an eBird submission, will be picked up by your
NAB sub-regional editor, and will serve as your contribution. This is
not necessarily the case. Not only is it easy to miss a Texbirds post or
eBird submission, we do NOT assume that sightings posted to those
mediums are necessarily intended by the observer as something that can
or should be published in North American Birds.  Therefore, please
report directly to the editor for the area of your sighting, even if it
is just as a carbon-copy (cc or bcc) of a Texbirds report.

 

Thanks to Bert Frenz, there is a listing of the Texas counties included
for each of the reporting sub-regions at:
