Colorado birders,
Many birders rely on the Colorado Rare Bird Alert, even in this day and age of BirdTrax and eBird. As you may have heard, Joyce Takamine's last day compiling the RBA will be December 31,
after posting that report on CObirds every day for 14 years!
Birders in Colorado and beyond are grateful to Joyce for her diligent efforts.
IF any birder wants to take over compiling the Colorado Rare Bird Alert, please email me at: jroller9 AT gmail.com
Perhaps you could be part of a team, so no one person has to do the work alone.
To help the next compiler Joyce has prepared a detailed guide to the sources of information she checks and the process she follows to produce the RBA,
a gem among other state RBA's. Where else can you find rarities listed county by county? And updates do not need to be sent to CObirds before dawn
or even sent every day, especially when things are quiet. Coaching is available as you get started.
If no one volunteers, the Dec 31 New Year's Eve RBA will be the last one. And birders will start 2019 with a little less guidance about seeking out the birds they love.
Joe Roller, Denver
