retire from RBA

[Joyce Takamine]

CoBirders,

I want to let you know that I intend to retire from compiling the RBA on 1 Jan 2019.

I have been compiling the RBA for 14 years and think that it is time for some new blood

or possibly some new means of broadcasting the information.  

A lot has changed since I first started.  For one we no longer have the phone line which 

is sort of how it started.  News come from many sources now:  CoBirds, WSBN, e-Bird,

and Facebook.  When we have a “hot” bird or birds it takes a LOT of time to compile the

reports.

Good Birding,

Joyce Takamine

Thanks, Joyce! 

Wow! 14 years of daily pre-dawn WORK to compile the Colorado RBA!

It is recognized as the best of its kind ANYWHERE, with its excellent format and diligent, daily updates.

You have earned the deep respect and gratitude of the Colorado birding community.

Joe Roller, Denver

Thank you Joyce! The way you organized the RBA was so much better than my eBird RBA. By putting the birds into their county sighting makes searching for rarities so much easier.

Thanks, Joyce for your dogged perseverence with the RBA. We hope we see you on some field trips soon.

I’ve SO benefitted from the work of those, especially Joyce, who’ve maintained/updated the RBA. My Colorado and life lists have grown! Thanks so much!
