This is a reminder to all who birded Mono County during the Fall Season (1 Aug 2023 - 30 Nov 2023) that reports, descriptions, and photos of notable sightings are needed by 10 December 2023. Please finalize your eBird checklists or email reports to me by that date. I can be reached at <cristofolos...> or <cmccreedy...>
When reporting a rarity, please specify in the species comments:
1. the initial observer 2. the author of the documentation
This information will be used to properly credit the observer(s) in the NAB report. Also, please take the time to properly document and describe a rarity so that the observation is worthy of becoming a permanent ornithological record.
In addition, please email me regarding observations of:
1. notable high counts 2. notable high and low elevation observations 3. out-of-range observations
Thank you for your diligence in reporting your records. Also, thank you to everyone that sent reports last season! Your reports were easy to understand and very helpful.

Hi Eastern Sierra birders. A note on the Crowley Yellow-billed Loon. One of my jobs as an eBird reviewer is to ascertain the window in which a rarity such as this one is present. It becomes difficult to do this with brief or vague (such as "continuing", etc.) comments-only reports that do not include photographs There are several loons currently present on Crowley, and they can be quite distant and difficult to see well and thus separate from each other. Please help me by providing descriptive comments on your reports. Thanks!

Opps! I forgot to send the map and the team assignments. See attached.
Thanks everyone,

Hello Birders!
The Mammoth Lakes CBC will be on Sunday, December 17, 2023.
Please RSVP as soon as possible and indicate which day or days you will be attending, and if you have an area preference. I will get going on assigning areas and gathering the information you need to participate in the count once we have more folks on board.
We are tentatively planning a post-count tally party at Giovanni’s for the Mammoth Count.
All skill levels are welcome at the Christmas Bird Count. Please forward to birder friends who may be interested.
Thanks for your passion for the birds of the Eastern Sierra!
