I’d like to thank Pierre Deviche for the timely posting of information about the Curlew Sandpiper he discovered in Gila Bend on July 20, 2024. It is always so nice to see such reports of rarities here on the AZ List so that all AZ birders know about them without the need to check ebird, facebook, and even Discord. With so much Balkanization in the information world it can be difficult for the birding community to find such information in a timely manner. Perhaps we could create a Telephone Tree Network where a report is provided to a person at the top of Tree who then calls selected birders on the next level down, then each of those notified people can call other on the next lower level. Or, instead of this ’50’s era system we could just use the Listserv that we’ve had in AZ since the ’90’s.
