If you would like to report your winter (Dec. 1, 2004-Feb. 28, 2005) 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, 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 details for significant rarities. If you have photos, attach them to your email.
4. As a guideline, I have included a list of normal winter warblers. These should not be reported unless there is a good reason.
5. Note that not all reports will be used.
What happens to the reports? I consolidate the reports, then cull the less interesting. What's left is passed on the person handling the report for North American Birds (it rotates), and to Bill Pranty (who does the FFN report). They may cull more sightings for space reasons, or add other sightings sent directly to them.
