County Coordinators/Contributors:
The Spring Season (1 March to 31 May 2026) has ended, and we solicit
reports for inclusion in the Southern California Region report for *North
American Birds*. Reports should be arranged in the taxonomic order followed
by the American Ornithological Society’s Check-List of North American Birds
and all supplements [available at:
https://checklist.americanornithology.org/ ] Reports of species on the
California Bird Records Committee’s Review List [see:
https://www.californiabirds.org/checklist.asp ] must be accompanied by
documentation. Similar documentation should also accompany reports of
species unusual for the location or season. Full names, including middle
initials when available, should be used for observers cited in the reports.
Reports should be sent to the appropriate County Compilers (listed below)
or directly to Kimball Garrett and Guy McCaskie on or before 15 June 2026.
The North American Birds regional reports cannot exist without your input.

Note: For the time being, San Diego Co. seasonal reports will be gleaned
from Paul Lehman’s monthly bird sighting columns in The Skimmer (San Diego
Field Ornithologists). We also welcome Chris Dean as the compiler for
Imperial Co. As many of you know Guy McCaskie’s health issues have forced
him to scale back his involvement with these NAB reports.
