Index of Subjects 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!
