Re: [cobirds] Re: COUNTIES PLEASE

Yes, when reporting a sighting it is wise to include the county name in the subject line. Very helpful.

And I also agree with Steve Stachowiak The implication of a quick phoned-in note is, "Stay tuned for more details, I am busy

collecting a DNA sample." 

We can help each other by reading such a post from somewhere out in the Boondocks, recognizing where the call is coming from and perhaps sending a quick note to Cobirds

explaining more details about how to get there.

An example:

"Congrats to Big Bob Birder and his cousin, Marybelle, for finding Barred Owls at "Maggie's Farm!"

For those of you unfamiliar with Maggies's Farm, that freeholding is in Cheyenne County. Detailed directions to Maggie's Farm (where no one works

no more) are copied here from the CFO County Birding website:

<<Picturesque Maggie's Farm has been a Cheyenne County birding hot spot for over six months now. It has been 

good for eastern passerines and the habitat looks great for Tufted Titmouse and who knows, even Barred Owl is possible.

Directions:

Drive 5.22 miles east of Cheyenne Wells on Highway 40, past the airfield, then watch for 44 Road. Maggie's Farm 

(fee area) is on the southeast corner of Highway 40 and 44 Road.

DeLorme page 103.

Please do not play a Barred Owl tape or handle the nestlings.

Good birding,

Full name, city, and state, here.

I would hope that there is still some leniency granted for those posts that may be lacking in correct protocol that are made on the fly from a cell phone in a remote location with bad coverage in order to get the word out on a good bird, even if those pesky four letter banding codes are used.

 

Good Birding,

I would also add, there are a number of volunteers who try and extract information from COBirds for  CFO's quarterly journal and for ABA's North American Birds.  These volunteers are regional and have specific counties they cover.  It makes it much easier on them if they can search COBirds by the county as searching by a city name is really not feasible.  You may occasionally have reports for multiple counties, if you at least list all the counties in the body of the email they will get found by a search.

Make sure when posting a sighting that you include the county of the sighting in the subject line.

 

There are 64 counties in Colorado and county listing is popular among COBirders.  Others are only interested in their local patch, so a quick scan of the subject line in all that is needed.

 

Thanks all and keep the posts coming.  And remember all emails need a complete signature.  ( Full name, City, and State)
