[Bluebird-babble] Thanks to All the Cornell Reporters

Thanks for the reminder - I failed to complete sending in my nest information for 2006 - can I still send it in?  I cannot see how to do that on the web site.

  Subject: [Bluebird-babble] Thanks to All the Cornell Reporters


  A great big 'Thank You' is in order to all the bluebird monitors across Colorado who went the extra mile to report their end-of-season results to Cornell's "The Birdhouse Network" database.  Four seasons ago Colorado languished near the bottom of the states in participation in this important Cornell project, averaging around 100 nest attempts reported per year.  This year we were near the top of the list with well over 1,000 nest attempts reported!   The extra effort you made to get your data into Cornell's database, whether you entered it yourself or sent the reporting sheets to us, is the sole reason for this dramatic increase.  So give yourselves a pat on the back!  Incidentally, over 300 of the nest attempts that went into Cornell were from reports that folks sent in to the Colorado Bluebird Project, we had one dedicated volunteer who posted all those 300+ reports!

  Anyone who wants to see the season's results on the Cornell website can do so by going to their website www.birds.cornell.edu/birdhouse<http://www.birds.cornell.edu/birdhouse> then clicking on the 'News & Results' button, then clicking on the 'Query TBN Data' button.  There you can pull out the results for Colorado, the whole country, etc., in a variety of formats.  Also, if you're not familiar with the Cornell website, take some time to browse around in it, it is chock-full of great information and guidance!

  As you may know, Cornell has been reengineering their database to make it more comprehensive, allow more flexibility in data reporting, and most importantly to provide a wider array of reports and inquiries.  There shouldn't be any significant changes in data that we record during our weekly observations at the nestboxes.  Hopefully Cornell will keep us apprised of the progress they're making and of any changes we should expect to affect our data collection and reporting process.

  Thanks Again for all you do for our little blue friends!

  If you have any questions or want to know more about Cornell reporting, please send your email directly to the Project at bluebirdproject at denveraudubon.org<mailto:bluebirdproject at denveraudubon.org>.  Please do not 'Reply' to this email, as that will send your inquiry to everyone else in the listserv.  Thanks!
