This message has been approved by the Birdnews moderator. First, the 2022 Ontario Bird Records Committee (OBRC) would like to thank everyone who has submitted records to date. Without your submissions and support, we couldn't do any of what we do! Thank you for your contributions to scientific knowledge and our understanding of the occurrence and distribution of Ontario's avifauna. As the year begins to wind down, we would like to encourage everyone to *submit your reports documenting rare bird sightings from this year *as soon as possible. Regardless of whether you are the original finder or a following observer, we would love to receive a report from you. Multiple reports for any rare bird sighting strengthens the record and increases the quality of documentation overall. Submitting a report is easy, at a minimum simply requiring the date and location of observation with a description of the bird and what led you to your identification. Reports may be submitted through the OBRC's online submission form here: http://ofo.ca/site/Obrcreport or via email to the OBRC Secretary (obrc@ofo.ca). Please send supporting documents such as photos, videos, sound recordings or drawings directly to the secretary and include your name and the species in your report. Not sure what species require reporting? The review lists for the 3 reporting regions in Ontario as well as some some excellent guidelines for reporting can be found here: http://ofo.ca/site/page/view/obrc.guidelines. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me directly - I'm happy to help! Good birding! Nicole Richardson OBRC Chair npinicola@gmail.com
