[cobirds] Re: COUNTIES PLEASE

Joe, I had a problem with sending in a message to Cobirds last year. Ira
Sanders called me from, I believe, Chico Basin, with several good birds. He
asked that I send them in to Cobirds. I did this, using my daughter's
iPhone. And I used my name and home base of Centennial in my message.
However, they were never printed and I was never contacted for more
information.
I appreciate your informative post. But we have problems already with
reports from afield.
