Hey everyone:
I've posted an updated article on the Maine eBird Portal about some helpful reminders for submitting your Christmas Bird Counts to eBird. Most importantly: Checklists should be from a single party, not a compilation from multiple groups. And please be as location specific as possible; if using a large area or long distance, make sure to accurately describe your effort. As always, feel free to contact me directly with any eBird questions. This article is available at: http://ebird.org/content/me/news/ebirding-your-cbcs/
Also, a quick [last minute] reminder that we will be showing NHPTV's new documentary "Counting on Birds" at 7:00pm TONIGHT at Gilsland Farm. This is a great chance to learn about the history of the Christmas Bird Count and how it has grown, see a beautiful part of Maine featured, and get to see some fascinating tropical birds!

Good birding,
