Rare Bird Alert Notes

[Joyce Takamine]

CoBirders,

The Rare Bird Alert no longer has a phone answering machine so there

is no way to report a sighting to the RBA by phone.   You can still report by

posting to CoBirds or by e-mail to rba At cfobirds.org.  

The old list that the compilers used was getting very dated and so we are

now using the state review list which can be found at the cfo web site.  Many

old birds that we used to report are no longer on the list and there are some

familiar birds that are now on the list.  

It would be helpful if you would date your sightings by month and day instead of

yesterday or today.  Some do not include any dates.  Depending on when you

post and the time stamp that goes on the e-mail, when you just say today,

I can not be sure of the actual date especially for those you post late at night.

Good Birding,

Joyce Takamine
