All,

Here's my final call for birders to submit your 2011 List Reports to me by no later than January 31, only four days away! We're up to 72 submissions but I want to hear from everyone, no matter if you are a first timer, long timer, or used to but haven't submitted in years. It will be fun to compare the top life, year, and month lists that have ever been recorded in MD and DC, but if your data isn't in there, how will anyone else know about your great accomplishments?

SomeMac users have told me that submitting the form will work if you select the internet mail option after clicking on the email button in the form. If that doesn't work, just get your form to me anyway you can (scanning, snail mail, whatever) and I will make sure to get your lists into the database. 

DC LISTERS! - if you want to submit month lists to me for DC, just send me a separate form filled out only in the months field and make sure to let me know that the form is for DC MONTHS ONLY. I have at least one DC birder who has done that so far.
 
Bill Hubick has kindly posted the List Report Form for 2011 on his website for your use...here's the link to the site:

There is also a link on the MOS website:

Also, if you are an ebirder and haven't yet tried Mike Ostrowski's wonderful excel macro that automatically generates all of your life, year, and month lists for Maryland and each county, I highly recommend you try it out. It's tremendous and only involves a few simple steps to perform. Just be sure to delete any 2012 data before running the macro!

The macro workbook and instructions can also be found on Bill Hubick's website:

I hope to hear from you all soon, and good birding!
