COBIRDS request --fALL COUNTIES

[Allison Hilf]

Given I only compile the RBA infrequently, it might not be appropriate for me to post this. BUT, it used to be the case that rare birds were posted on COBIRDS. Ebird has changed this and many birders post rare birds exclusively to eBird. PLEASE post RBA’s to COBIRDS (as well as to eBird if you are an eBirder). There are still many birders who choose not to eBird, including birders traveling to Colorado. Also, it is now necessary to check eBird for the RBA. This might not appear to be a burden to compilers — but it can be (particularly when only GPS locations are documented on eBird, and when the compilers try to describe general locations where the bird(s) have been reported.

Thanks,
