The long Fall birding season (4 months) is now over, and it's time to report Fall bird sightings.
If you would like to report your Fall (Aug. 1-Nov. 30) 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). Sightings of exotics are also accepted. 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.
E.g.: BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER: 1 adult male at West Kendall (Miami-Dade) 17 May (J. Boyd)
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. I prefer if you send the sightings as plain text. If it is in a Word file, I prefer that you save it as plain text before sending.
Thanks for your help.
