[Tweeters] Washington Bird List Reports for 2022 - time to send them in

[Matt Bartels]

Happy New Year, everyone!

Now’s the time to wrap up those listing details from 2022 to clear the way for 2023 adventures.

January 31, 2023 is the deadline to send Washington Birder your  2022 List Report.

List Report and Big Day forms are available on the WA Birder website at: http://www.wabirder.com/forms.html <http://www.wabirder.com/forms.html>


The annual list report is a great chance to look at the community and appreciate all the many accomplishments out there. 

I believe many people have set personal high counts this year in their home counties, and several very high state year lists - it would be excellent receive that info for the overall report. Regardless of how high or low your totals are, this is a chance to join in the community summary of accomplishments.

You don’t have to enter details for every category listed, just send in info for those important to you.

If you are on eBird, almost all the totaling is done for you  Also for eBirders: In the 2022 reporting, eBird is in the process of incorporating a different method of calculating list totals that will remove some exotics/introduced species. This is currently visible on regional checklists on eBird, but not on personal life list totals.Most notably, before long most western WA counties will no longer ‘count’ Ring-necked Pheasant in county life list totals. For this year, use the method you prefer - we’ll likely follow this new approach next year, once fully integrated in eBird.




Enjoy the new year, and send in the [reports of the] old!
