[Tweeters] Reminder: Washington Bird List Reports for 2024 - time to send them in

[Matt Bartels via Tweeters]

Hi everyone -
A reminder to send in your year list reports by the end of the month - 

The list report and big day forms are available on the WA Birder website at: http://www.wabirder.com/forms.html

You can turn in reports on as much or as little as you’d like — but the more people that take part, the more interesting it is as we celebrate the community’s birding for the year.

Thanks,

Matt Bartels

> Happy New Year, everyone!

> 

> Now’s the time to wrap up those listing details from 2024 to clear the way for 2025 surprises and goals..

> 

> January 31, 2025 is the deadline to send Washington Birder your  2024 List Report.

> 

> List Report and Big Day forms are available on the WA Birder website at: http://www.wabirder.com/forms.html 

> 

> It is easiest if you use the online forms to send in reports, but other options are provided as well if needed.

> 

> 

> The annual list report is a great chance to look at the community and appreciate all the many accomplishments out there. 

> 

> This is most interesting the more people take part and report their results. Regardless of how high or low your totals are, this is a chance to join in the community summary of accomplishments.

> 

> You don’t have to enter details for every category listed, just send in info for those important to you.

> 

> For 2024, be sure to adjust for recent lumps like Redpoll lump and the Pacific-slope/Cordilleran Flycatcher [along w/ the crow lump from a couple years back if not yet done]. In addition, we recommend using the eBird status decisions on local countability of introduced/exotic species.If you are on eBird, almost all the totaling is done for you. Most notably, most western WA counties no longer ‘count’ Ring-necked Pheasant in county life list totals.

> 

> This year, I added a spot on the form to report on 5-mile Radius totals for those of you who might have taken the next step from ‘yard list’.

> 

> 

> Enjoy the new year, and I look forward to seeing reports of 2024
