[Tweeters] Washington Bird List Reports for 2025 - time to send them in

[Matt Bartels via Tweeters]

Happy New Year, everyone!

Now’s the time to wrap up those listing details from 2025 to clear the way for 2026 surprises and goals..

January 31, 2026 is the deadline to send Washington Birder your  2025 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 2025 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 2025, we’ve once again added an option to report lists for your 5MR “5 mile radius” list, for those who track that as an extended yard list. 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!
