Ontbirds Migration is an exciting time of the year and birders appreciate that. But with 1500 subscribers to Ontbirds we would like to maintain a reasonable number of daily messages.
Please remember our reporting guidelines. http://www.ofo.ca/ontbirdsguide.htm Expected birds (resident and migrating birds) in well birded areas should not be reported. Ontbirds is not a journal of record. General lists of birds seen including more common birds and lists of arriving migrants are of interest to the birding community and should be submitted to regional compilers for Birder's Journal and/or North American Birds as well as to local Naturalist Clubs.
