If you would like to report your Winter 2005-06 (Dec. 1-Feb. 28) bird sightings from SE Florida (Monroe, Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach) for possible inclusion in Florida Field Naturalist & North American Birds, now is the time to do so. I will be accepting reports via email through the 15th. The focus of the quarterly report is on rare birds and other interesting sightings (unusual numbers, interesting behavior, etc). If you are unsure whether your sighting qualifies, please send it to me anyway.

Please send your report to me at boydj@fiu.edu

1. Put your list in taxonomic order (Sibley or NGS order is close enough).

2. At a minimum, we need the following information for each sighting: SPECIES, NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS, AGE AND SEX OF THE BIRD (if possible), COLOR MORPH (if applicable), LOCATION (including COUNTY), DATE, OBSERVERS.

3. Please include a description or photo of the bird(s) for significant rarities. A report with both photo and description is preferred.

4. Note that not all reports submitted will appear in FFN or NAB.

5. The following warbler species are considered normal in winter: Orange-crowned Warbler, Northern Parula, Magnolia Warbler, Cape May Warbler, Black-throated Blue Warbler, Myrtle Warbler, Black-throated Green Warbler, Yellow-throated Warbler, Pine Warbler, Prairie Warbler, Palm Warbler, Black-and-white Warbler, American Redstart, Worm-eating Warbler, Ovenbird, Northern Waterthrush, Common Yellowthroat

Thanks for your help.
