Dear San Bernardino County birders:
The winter season for North American Birds (1 December 2025 - 28
February 2026) is now over. I will shortly submit a list of significant San
Bernardino County sightings to Kimball Garrett and Guy McCaskie, the regional
editors for the Southern Pacific Coast report.
Although I use eBird to help me gather the information I need, that database is very large, and it is time-consuming to research each individual species. Therefore, I would appreciate hearing directly from SBE birders regarding any reports of unusual species, arrival and departure dates for common and unusual species, notable numbers, and absences. I would greatly appreciate learning of any sightings or trends that are out of the ordinary, even (especially) for birds not considered "rarities."
Please also include a careful description (at least a written description; photographs are also welcome) for rare species: either CBRC review species, or species that are equivalently rare locally. Note that sightings of rare birds cannot be added to the county database without some sort of supporting documentation.
Please send your sightings to me by 10 March.
Thanks for your assistance!
Sandy
