Where can i find the Rare Bird Alert Form?

[birderbob]

Hello All,

I’ve been instructed to fill out a Rare Bird Alert Form to report hearing a No. Saw Whet Owl at Washington Park (Denver County) during Urban CBC count on Jan 1st.

I haven’t had need, or opportunity to fill out one of these forms since 2009, so it’s been a while. . . 

I haven’t been able to find a workable link or quick-link on the CFO home page.  Also, if available, I need an interactive electronic format since I no longer use a printer (and Hugh Kingery has requested a copy with our counting paperwork.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions and help.

Happy 2020

Bob

Bob,

Great find and glad you reached out. Colorado Field Ornithologists (CFO) is also home to the Colorado Rare Birds Committee (CBRC). You can find a link to the CBRC website from the CFO site cowbirds.org, or you can go directly to cobrc.org.

The CBRC site includes a list of species that should be formally documented by county, so you can quickly check if Northern Saw-Whet Owl sightings for your area meet this threshold.

For anyone birding in Colorado, it is a good idea to familiarize oneself with what is considered rare for your home county, and if you do find a rare bird, please take the time to document your find!

Happy New Year and good birding,

Peter Burke

COBirders,

The CFO website is cobirds.org !

Autocorrect wants that to be cowbirds.org ...sorry for the typo!

The “link” on the CFO page for reporting rarities takes me here, to the discussion board. The quick-links on the bottom of the page are not working for me.
I’m using an iPad if that makes a difference.

It's not 'cobrc,' It's "cbrc.org.  I got to it by going to cfobirds.org, and clicking on bird records, or you can go direct.  There's a link to fill out a report right there.
