Hello Birding Friends!
Once again I am up to my ears in other must-do's, so I will not have
time to work on the compilation just yet. Therefore, if you haven't
sent in your numbers and you'd like to be included, there's still
time!
And by the way, if you have already submitted your data and would like
to add or change anything, you can re-submit your report.
Here's to Spring!

=============================================
In case it is not possible for you to enter your data online, there is
also a link at the top of that page for the printable form you can
mail in.
Remember, no reports submitted in previous years are automatically
carried into the next. If you want to be listed in the 2024
compilation, you must submit your numbers, even if they haven’t
changed since the last report you sent in.
For more details, see below.
With big thanks to all who have already sent their data in, and
fingers crossed that the inflow will continue over the next couple of
weeks!

As always, keep in mind that species not yet on NYSOA’s official NYS
Checklist of the Birds of New York State should not be included in
your counts.

Please also renew your NYSOA membership if you have not yet done
so....thank you!

BACKGROUND & DETAILS
NYSOA’s County and State Listing Project is a fun, friendly
competition. Started in 1992, it continues to attract new participants
every year. Some of our first county listers have not missed a single
year since the beginning (watch out, you might get hooked!). Here’s
how it works:
After the close of each calendar year, participants send in as many of
the following as they wish to share: their LIFE list totals for all
of NYS, the 10 Kingbird regions, the 62 counties, and the PELAGIC ZONE
(PZ).
In addition, we have one YEAR LIST category – for the entire state -
and a SELF-FOUND list category (the number of species you found in
2024 without being alerted to them by others or by eBird alerts -- or
by any other bird alert systems.
You can send in just one number or as many as 76, or anywhere in
between – it’s your choice depending on where you’ve birded and what
records you’ve kept. A compilation is produced annually and published
in NYSOA’s newsletter and also on the NYSOA website at
https://nybirds.org/ProjCountyLists.html. Forms, a map of the ten
Kingbird regions, and details on the Pelagic Zone are available on
that web page also.
Join in on the fun and see where you stand – statewide, region by
region, county by county – in comparison with other birders all over
New York State (and even outside the state). To see what the annual
compilation looks like, check out the archive at
https://nybirds.org/ProjCountyLists.html.
