Hi everyone,
I hope you've enjoyed a wonderful spring migration! We've sure seen
some fabulous rarities in the province this year so far.
We're halfway through the year now and though we're all out enjoying
the busiest time of the breeding season, I wanted to take a moment to
remind everyone to *submit your reports documenting rare bird
sightings! *Whether you were the single observer or were standing
amongst a crowd of dozens, we would love to receive a report from you.
The more documentation we have for any record, the better!
Submitting a report is easy, at a minimum 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 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 email. The review lists for the three reporting regions as well
as guidelines for reporting can be found here
http://ofo.ca/site/page/view/obrc.guidelines.
A huge thanks to everyone who has submitted reports so far for your
contributions to scientific knowledge and our understanding of the
occurrence and distribution of Ontario's avifauna!
Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.
Happy birding,
Nicole Richardson
OBRC Chair
