BIRD SIGHTINGS
This aspect of the lab is designed to encourage students to become aware of the local avifauna outside of scheduled lab time. We want you to look for birds on your own. As an incentive, you can earn bonus points for additions to this list of bird sightings.
Rules for receiving bonus pointsEach student may earn a maximum of two points per week, for a maximum total of 25 bonus points. A point will be awarded to the first person(s) who submits a sighting of a new species outside of lab time. All submissions for a new species received on the same day will be awarded points. Students are allowed only one submission per 24 hours, and the submission must be made within 48 hours of the observation. In addition, three points will be awarded for the first active nest found for each species. Submissions should be sent using the form below.
PLEASE USE THE FIND FUNTION UNDER EDIT TO SEE IF A BIRD IS ALREADY SIGHTED
Corollary: make sure you spell your species name correctly to prevent others from reporting it again
