Dear Texbirders,
The summer reporting season for North American Birds (NAB) ended on 31 May.
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 summer season extends from 1 June to 31 July and we would like to receive
your reports of interesting bird sightings for this period by no later than 15
August. 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:
