Hello birders;
A couple of weeks ago Malcolm Gold posted some recommendations for documenting "Rare" birds in eBird. I would like to add another way to make your eBird posts more useful to the scientific community.
The Kansas Natural Heritage Inventory documents breeding sites for a select group of birds that are either rare in the state or of particular conservation concern. Using the breeding code in eBird is a quick and easy way to document breeding activity for these birds. The list of species we're interested in can be found at
https://www.ksbirds.org/Birds_of_interest_Heritage_Program_2025.pdf
If you observe breeding behavior for one of these species during your birding trips this year, just pop in the breeding code and add a few notes about what you saw.
If you don't use eBird you can just send me an email at <jdelisle...><mailto:<jdelisle...>.
We appreciate your help!
Jennifer
