The Audubon Christmas Bird Count site has only posted the data for this past count in the last few days. They want me to have all the data edited by the end of April. That's going to be hard for me because I'm going to be out of town about 3 weeks between now and then. (Don't feel bad for me. Two of those weeks I'll be in Hawaii with no responsibilities other than birding.) Issues: 1) Data for the following counts which are usually or sometimes done are not available now on the web site. That means that the count was not done this year, the compiler has not finished entering the data, or that the compiler is finished but forgot to click on the "I'm done" button. A flaw in the system is that I don't know for sure which counts were done unless the data are entered and the compiler acknowledges that she or he has finished entering data. I assume that some of these counts were done because I've received documentation for them. Big Spring Columbia Grand Rivers Laclede County (compiler has no e-mail) Maryville Mingo NWR Montrose Lake Poplar Bluff Squaw Creek St. Joseph Sullivan (was not done last year) Ted Shanks If you are the compiler of one of these counts, please check that you have entered all your data (deadline March 31) and have clicked the appropriate button indicating that you have finished. If you participated in one of these counts and suspect that the compiler isn't on Mobirds or that I have the wrong e-mail address above in the cc line, please let me know that the count was done. 2) In past years I've contacted compilers who have reported species that require documentation and have urged then to send it if they haven't already. I'm not going to do that this year because I don't have time and because it's much too late to be documenting now a sighting that happened in December or early January. To be honest, I've been accumulating a pile of documentation forms that compilers have sent me, but haven't even looked at them yet. Compilers may want to send me a list of species that they documented so that I can start getting organized.
