Date: 5/28/26 10:04 pm From: Paul L. Pearson via groups.io <Propearson...> Subject: [NEBirds] NOU Spring Meeting Listing Protocols and Field Trips
As we are currently unable to update the listing protocols page on the website for this meeting, here are the counties that you should report your individual and group sightings. Sioux, Scotts Bluff, Dawes, Sheridan and Box Butte (if any field trips go outside of those counties, please let us know so we can also include them) For birding you are doing individually or as a small group from Thurs May 28-Sun May 31 (NOT with NOU field trips, see below) for those 5 counties can be shared with the NOU account “pinkfooted”. If you are birding in a small group or carpool, have ONE designated eBirder share each checklist to avoid duplication. NOU field trip groups on Sat/Sun should have ONE designated eBirder that will share each complete checklist with the NOU account “pinkfooted”. Any participants that want those group checklists need to share their eBird ID or eBird account email with the designated eBirder in your group. Individuals participating in NOU group field trips should NOT submit their own checklists from those group trips unless it is an incidental that other members of the field trip group did not see/report. Field trip locations, descriptions and morning meet-up sites will be communicated during the evening meeting on Friday and Saturday nights by the field trip leaders. Field trips are subject to change based on weather conditions and/or good sightings at the discretion of field trip leaders. Good luck and good birding! Paul L.
