Hello fellow tweets,

Whoops, a little bit behind here. This past Friday marked the first day
of the summer nesting season at least when it comes to rare bird
reporting. Thus it is time for me to request spring bird reports (March
- May). Ryan Merrill (FieldNotes at wos.org) compiles records for WOS
Field Notes and I keep tabs of unusual bird sightings for North American
Birds. To be clear, an "Unusual Sighting" could be any of the following:

1) rare species (either a state rarity or a bird rare in a particular
locality, e.g. Grasshopper Sparrow at Neah Bay)
2) early or late dates for migrants
3) high-number counts for any species

To keep reporting as simple as possible, you can send reports via e-mail
to either Ryan or me, since we routinely share the reports. Please
include the species seen, number recorded, place recorded, and any other
interesting information. We will make sure the reports end up in the
right venue. Please send reports by June 15.

Thanks and good birding,

Brad Waggoner
