The folks at NAS have not changed their on-line rare
bird report forms and they are still woefully inadequate.

Please include a hard copy of all rare or unusual bird
sighting reports with the official envelope (the one that
the money goes in).

If you are unsure what constitutes a rare or unusual species
please see:

I realize that coaxing written rare bird reports from
hard working birders is even more difficult and uncomfortable
then getting the $5.00 from them, but remember, this is for
posterity.

Thank you for your gracious cooperation.

Mike Patterson Alas, to wear the mantle of Galileo,
Astoria, OR it is not enough to be persecuted
mpatters at oregonvos.net by an unkind establishment,
you must also be right.
