--Apple-Mail-62-401838082 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; delsp=yes; format=flowed Hello everyone: Having been a CBC compiler for the first time, I have been a bit =20 puzzled by the order in which birds are listed in guidse, checklists, =20= etc. The form that was given to me to complete was a Microsoft Word document =20= which contained a list of birds that started with geese, rather that =20 the expected loons. (Since Peterson's, National Geographic, Collins =20 Guide to Europe, the AOU checklist, and Nova Scotia Birds, all use an =20= order that starts with loons, I was puzzled as to why the list for =20 filling out the CBC uses a different order. I made a PDF files from the Word document (that is formatted properly =20= on screen but has some small glitches as a PDF file, but I don't have =20= time for the usual anti-Microsoft rant!). It is at http://myweb.dal.ca/pmkelly/BirdList1.pdf I reformatted it in AppleWorks to get three columns so that it would =20 fit on two pages with some room for extra info to distribute to =20 participants: http://myweb.dal.ca/pmkelly/BirdList2.pdf At the count wrap-up, it was noted that the warblers had been split =20 into two groups, separated by other bird types. (Look for the common =20 yellowthroat.). I originally thought that I had made a mistake in the =20= reformatting but that does not seem to be the case. I have tried to check to see if the data entry on the web site also =20 uses this order, but cannot get in as of yet as I have no idea what the =20= password is! Is there any reason why the CBC would distribute a list with this type =20= of ordering?
