Evenings this summer have been spent working on a project on the LBRC website to create a template that all accepted and published LBRC records can eventually be uploaded and linked to. At this point, all of the published synopses of accepted and unaccepted records for every species currently on the Review List have been stationed on individual species' pages, and linked to the digital records from the LBRC site. Eventually all of the old paper LBRC records and photos will be scanned and posted as well.
The next step is to include the pages for the records of species that have been removed from the Review List. Following that, published synopses (anonymous) of unaccepted records of species not on the Review List will be added.
Each species page contains a date graph and a parish map for accepted records
as well as the accepted and unaccepted records and synopses. Where pictures are available, a representative photo is included.
If you browse the site, be sure to let me know about any errors, of which many must have crept in.
I personally would like to thank you for your updates to the "Photo and Record gallery" page on the site. Your continued dedication and commitment to the LBRC and its online resources is much appreciated by all.
ReplyDeleteNC has an Antillean Nighthawk record too:

Edward,
ReplyDeleteI should have done and need to add some background info to the LBRC site, without which it's unclear or misleading. The synopses are taken from LBRC Reports, some dating back a couple of decades, so the information in some entries is now outdated. I forget when that nighthawk record was published, but you're correct, it reflects the status quo at the time of publication. I appreciate your input, as it helps me set my priorities going ahead on the project. Thank you.
Paul,
DeleteYour efforts are unmatchable. The NC nighthawk was at Hatteras at least a decade ago. So, definitely not as long ago as the LA write-up.
