[cobirds] Colorado Christmas Bird Counts starting this week

Hi all,

If you wanted to pre-register for Christmas Bird Counts on the CBC
Website, it doesn't sound like that is going to happen this year. So,
please contact the compiler(s) of counts you want to go on, as quickly
as possible. This weekend's counts may be pretty cold (perhaps snowy
too, in some areas). Be careful out there!

If you take photos of birds on Colorado CBCs this year, please post
them on the Colorado CBC Photos Facebook page. This certainly helps
the Regional Editor know, what has been photographed on Colorado
Christmas Bird Counts. Count Week birding begins for the Saturday
counts on Wednesday-Friday and for the Sunday counts on
Thursday-Saturday. This year, with the cold weather on Count Days
this weekend, it might be a good idea to look for stuff during Count
Week, as some species may not still be around for Count Day.
Compilers will put on the CBC Website (cw) for species not found on
count day, though found during the count week period (three days
before and three after, in their count circle). You can e-mail me
photos of rare stuff if you need to, as well, just let me know, which
count the photos are from, so I know.

Remember to try to get photos of rare birds found during Count Day or
Count Week, if possible. Certain species reported on Counts, that
aren't documented in anyway, will have to be deleted. Documentation
should include a written description of what the bird you saw looked
like, and why and how you figured out that is what it was, and how you
eliminated other species, that are more likely. CBRC State Review
species found on Counts, have to be documented, just submit a record
to the CBRC on the bird, and e-mail me a copy, so I know the bird was
documented.

Thanks and Good luck to everyone and have a safe Christmas Bird Count season.
