Thank you Mark for your words about breeding birds records. I have often
been frustrated by the MOU's requirement for "confirmed" breeding
records, which I believe results in a skewed picture of the birds that
breed in Minnesota. From now on, I will happily indicate possible,
probable and confirmed breeding behavior on my electronic Seasonal
Report.

I have submitted nest cards for many years, but I often feel like they
are going down a black hole. The seasonal report in "The Loon" did not
show any of my records from last summer. I hope that adding my records
to the electronic text box for each sighting, will result in some use
being made of them.
