How can we access the list for the province?  IE to put in a report on someone else's behalf who does not want an eBird report.  I put them in my own today, which is not ideal.


Cheers,
Angela

Hi Angela, and others who may have the same question,

If you email the photo(s) with details (date, location, observer) to Alix, Dominic or myself we will put it into the NS Bird Records account. The preference would be to limit this to uncommon or under-reported species, first/last seasonal records for a region, or areas with low coverage. Example: an incomplete list with a photo of an American Goldfinch in Halifax is probably inconsequential due to the number of observers there and unnecessary to have in the NSBR account (unless it comes with a complete checklist of other species observed, and the observer is unwilling/unable to use eBird themselves), but an Evening Grosbeak up in Cape Breton or a Rusty Blackbird in Hants County would be great to have, even if as an incomplete list.

Thanks,
David
