Happy New Year, everyone!

Now’s the time to wrap up those listing details from 2023 to clear the way for 2024 surprises and goals..

January 31, 2024 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

It is easiest if you use the online forms to send in reports, but other options are provided as well if needed.

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

I believe for 2023 several very high state year lists and I’m sure we have many personal listing personal highs as well - 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.

For 2023, be sure to adjust for recent lumps like Pacific-slope/Cordilleran Flycatcher [along w/ the crow lump from a couple years back if not yet done]. In addition, we recommend using the eBird status decisions on local countability of introduced/exotic species.If you are on eBird, almost all the totaling is done for you. Most notably, most western WA counties no longer ‘count’ Ring-necked Pheasant in county life list totals.


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