Hello folks,
I am still working hard on the Coordinated Bird Monitoring Plan. For
those who have not heard of it, or who have not heard about it since
last winter's TOS meeting, it is a plan to bring together in one
place a lot of information about bird research. A primary goal of
this plan is to help researchers (including citizen scientists) and
stakeholders (such as land owners and managers) focus their efforts
and resources where they are most needed. It should help us to see
areas/species/seasons where more research is needed.
This important effort has been led primarily by members of TOS under
the supervision of state ornithologist Michael Roedel. Most of the
folks who have added to it are much more knowledgeable than Yours
Truly, who is really just a compiler of other people's work. I hope
I can rely on TOS members for even more support. Here are a couple
specific requests for help:
One of the bigger parts of this effort is a determination of all the
current, as well as relevant past, research efforts that are or have
been undertaken. I know there are still a lot of holes there, and I
am depending greatly on this community to help me with that.
Right now, one of the holes I'm having trouble filling is the state
forays. I have almost all the migrants back to 1984, so any forays
in there will be in the CBM Plan. However I have not been able to
get my hands on earlier Migrants, and I've not been able to get to
the TOS archives to see what is in store for me there.
Therefore, if you know of forays prior to 1984, or ones after that
which were not published, PLEASE contact me. For the time being, I
don't need a lot of info. Just a contact person, the date(s), the
county, and where any extant information may reside.
Further, If you are a researcher who has not contacted me, or been
contacted by me, about your work, I would greatly appreciate hearing
from you.
thank you,
Charlie
