[EBB Sightings] North American Birds Spring Reminder

Hello everyone, 
Below is a somewhat belated reminder for the end of
the spring season. 
Usual apologies to those of you who subscribe to
numerous listserves!

Dear North American Birds Contributors,

The spring season has already come to a close so
please send your noteworthy records from the Middle
Pacific Coast Region for the period 1 March ? 31 May
to the appropriate Subregional Editors (see below) or
to the Regional Editors by 10 June.  

Please note that we have two new Subregional Editors
this season. Brad Stovall has taken over in Lassen
County for Tim Manolis and Roger Adamson has come
aboard as the Subregional Editor for Yolo County.
Chris Conard will continue on as the Subregional for
Sacramento County.

Please pay special attention to the format example
given at the end of this message. Reports that are
formatted properly make our job far easier. In
particular, it is important to note that there is a
single tab between species, date, etc. 

PLEASE use Subregional Editors for the counties that
have them.  These SREs painstakingly keep track of
records within their counties and are in most cases
THE source of information on the birds of their
counties.  By sending your records to the SREs, you
are helping to contribute to their county files as
well as to North American Birds.  If you wish to send
copies to the Regional Editors, we welcome them, but
please send records through the SREs as well.  If you
have a noteworthy winter sighting from a county
without a Subregional Editor, please send records to
the Regional Editors below.

PLEASE meet your deadlines so that we can meet our
deadlines!


Please send reports in our preferred order: species,
date(s) [including year], locale, co. abbrev., number
of birds, and observer, and then, on a second line,
any comments.  Please separate these sections by a
"tab" (except just a space between locale and county
abbreviation) on electronic versions submitted. 
Again, here's an example of the correct format:

Grace's Warbler	12/13/98-2/20/99  	Jacks Peak MTY  	1
RFT, mob
   A second record for the Region (the first was
6/26/91 at Deer Spring, Glass Mt. MNO) which wintered
with a large flock of Townsend's & Hermit warblers at
the very top of Jacks Peak in Jacks Peak Regional
Park. Details by Tintle and others are enclosed. 

Many observers and Subregional Editors have been
submitting their reports by e-mail.  PLEASE submit
electronic reports if possible.  We are trying to
maintain an electronic database of at least recent
records, and we hope to be able to have all old data
entered eventually so that the entire database will be
easily accessible to anyone who wants it.  Electronic
submission of records in the format described above
makes it much easier for us maintain this electronic
database.

We've heard questions about, comments on, and
criticism of our regional reports from several
observers and SREs.  We really appreciate this
feedback, as it helps us to better represent what is
going on in the Region as a whole.  Please help us
correct any factual errors we make, and don't hesitate
to let us know what you think of the reports.

Many thanks to all the contributors and Subregional
Editors who make these reports possible!

Sincerely,


Ed Pandolfino, Mike Rogers, Scott Terrill, and Steve
Glover

(Middle Pacific Coast Regional Editors)
