Re: An Appeal

May be it's because we've be under a unusual spell of what many would consider weather not worth going out for...or not. Just a thought.

Kris:

 I too have been amazed at the paucity of reports by Utah birders on
BIRDNET/TALK this year during peak migration season.

I also monitor the IBLE (Idaho Birders Electronically Linked) listserv
(http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/ible) and am almost overwhelmed by the
number of their reports. This is in part due to the fact that each
Idaho county is tallying a Big Year list. The reports of first
sightings are being tabulated in a spreadsheet, which should provide a
very useful database for future reference and scientific studies.

Utah birders might well consider doing something similar.

Birders,

   Please consider reporting your sightings more frequently on
   birdtalk/birdnet.  I'm amazed that during what's possibly the best
time
   of year to bird, so few reports come across the listservs.  You
don't
   have to be a blabbermouth like me to report what you're seeing--a
simple
   list that includes what, where, when and how to get back there, if
   appropriate, would fill the needs of most people.

   I learn a lot from what others report and I'm particularly
interested in
   the range, distribution, and habitat of Utah birds.  So please help
me
   learn!  Thanks.

Kris
