Hi Jeannie;

David Christie's answer is correct.  If you're town or community isn't listed, and if it doesn't come up when you enter it on the page "Submit Your Checklist" - then use your postal code only.  Leave the community space blank.

If you're entering sightings for another area, and that doesn't come up, enter a postal code of a house or business that is close to where you saw birds.

If you have any other questions, just contact me at:

suzanneborkowski@yahoo.ca

or phone me at:  445-2922

Thanks for participating!
