Hi All,

I previously reported here on COBIRDS on the Pine Warbler observed in RMNP on August 6.  https://ebird.org/checklist/S92877914

The National Park Service maintains an official database of species for each national park.  According to their database, this would be the first record of Pine Warbler for the park.  Their website portal has a link for reporting suggested new species and I have done so twice--without any response.  Actually, I don't believe my emails have even been read.

Does anyone have a contact or conduit that might work to reach out to the "keeper" of this database:  Integrated Resource Management Applications at the National Park Service.  Here is the website to which I'm referring:  https://irma.nps.gov/NPSpecies/.

To be honest, I'm not sure if there is a contact person at Rocky Mountain National Park who might help or if I need to reach out to someone at a national level?

Any suggestions would be helpful.  

By the way, there is another species that would appear to be new to the park: a jaeger photographed above treeline in RMNP in August 2020:  https://ebird.org/checklist/S73071246
