Firstly, we would like to thank everyone who has submitted reports thus far for your contributions to scientific knowledge and our understanding of the occurrence and distribution of Ontario's avifauna. This is a final reminder for those who have not done so already to please *submit your reports documenting rare bird sightings from 2022 *before *January 30th, 2023.* 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 ([email protected]). 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>. Thanks everyone, and happy birding!
