Date: 11/8/26 10:15 am From: George Mayfield <georgemayfield...> Subject: [cobirds] Share Your Bird Photos for Colorado Birds! — Sightings June 1 – July 31, 2026
Dear CO Birders,
Another quarter, another chance to share your best work! *Colorado Birds*,
the quarterly journal of the Colorado Field Ornithologists, is now
accepting photo submissions for our "News From The Field" feature. We're on
the lookout for compelling images of rare, vagrant, or otherwise unusual
birds documented in Colorado between June 1, 2026, and July 31, 2026 (see
submission guidelines below).
To be considered for the upcoming issue, please send your highest-quality
photos to <george...> no later than *Sunday, November 15, 2026* —
and be sure to follow the file-naming guidelines below when you do.
*Special request:* if you photographed the Couch's Kingbird at Marjorie
Perry Nature Preserve (Arapahoe) this fall, we'd love flight or spread-wing
shots that show the wing and tail feathers. Colin Woolley is writing an
article on its molt for the winter issue. Same deadline, November 15.
We'd particularly love to feature photos of these noteworthy species
observed during this period. A few that look common, like Canyon Wren and
Bobolink, were first county records in eBird, so those photos are just as
welcome.
Thanks for your contributions to *Colorado Birds*. Your dedication and
generosity help maintain our journal's excellence, making it one of the
country's finest. Thanks for sharing your photography with us!
George Mayfield

*Photo Submission Guidelines:*
Photos from June 1, 2026 – July 31, 2026
Photos must be your own, and by submitting them, you give Colorado Birds
permission to reproduce in any issue and on the CFO website. We always
credit images with the photographer's name.
Please use the following format for the photo file names:
*species-date-location-county-photographer*. For example, a photo of an
American Robin taken Oct. 4, 2024 at Chatfield State Park by John James
Audubon would be named as follows:
*American Robin (or AMRO)-20241004-Chatfield-Jefferson-JJAudubon.*
Minimum quality for interior publication use is 750 x 900 pixels. To be
considered for the journal cover, photos must be at least 2625 pixels
(vertically) x 1725 pixels (horizontally). Please send original files in
the largest resolution possible (300 dpi is preferable). We will crop and
resize as needed. Email your submissions to <george...>
