This message has been approved by the Birdnews moderator. Hi everyone, The Ontario Bird Records Committee (OBRC) reviews, maintains and publishes records of rare birds in the province to make them available for a wide range of purposes from scientific research to public review. A huge thanks to everyone who has submitted reports so far for your contributions to scientific knowledge and our understanding of the occurrence and distribution of Ontario's avifauna. This is a reminder for those folks who haven't done so already to submit your reports documenting rare bird sightings from this year thus far. We've seen some excellent rare birds recently, and whether you were the single observer or standing amongst a crowd of dozens we would love to receive a report from you! Multiple reports for any rare bird sighting strengthens the record and increases the quality of documentation overall. The review lists for the three reporting regions as well as guidelines for reporting can be found here <http://www.ofo.ca/site/Obrc> (please note: reports for Neotropic Cormorant and Black-bellied Whistling Duck are no longer requested from 2023 onward, but we will happily receive reports for observations which occurred prior to this year). Additional guidelines for documenting rare birds can be found here <http://www.ofo.ca/site/page/view/obrc.guidelines>. Submitting a report is easy, at a minimum requiring the date, location and circumstances of your observation with a description of the bird. Reports may be submitted through the online submission form <http://www.ofo.ca/site/obrcreport>, and any accompanying media (photo, video, audio, drawings) may be sent directly to the secretary at *obrcsecretary@gmail.com <obrcsecretary@gmail.com>*. Alternatively, if you have already submitted a checklist to eBird containing all relevant and complete details (i.e., all fields marked with an asterisk* on the online report form), we would be happy to accept a copy of this checklist as your submission. If you would like to submit your eBird checklist to us, please print the checklist from your browser as a .pdf file and attach this to an email to the secretary along with any media for the report. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. Happy birding! Nicole Richardson OBRC Chair
