Chinook; Hwy 200, 10 miles west of Simms; etc.). Nesting information on these species is also 

 critical. Nesting records should include the exact location of the nest(s), number of individuals 

 observed, and a general habitat description. 



Observations of TES and SI species can be reported on the quarter latilong report form 

 found in Appendix I. Use multiple lines for your descriptions of the requested information, if 

 necessary. 



Subspecies Reports 



There are five species for which records need to be collected for subspecies distribution. 

 These species are listed in Appendix B. In particular, subspecies records for the Solitary Vireo 

 (Cassin's and Plumbeous) are needed. 



When and Where to Submit Records 



All Rare Bird reports should be submitted immediately after the sighting, while details of 

 the observation are fresh in your mind. Quarter latilong (QLL) lists should be aggregated and 

 submitted at least once per year. 



New records are added to the Montana Bird Distribution Database on a regular basis. 

 Regular submission of observations will allow the database to stay current for queries on 

 individual species and will greatly facilitate production of the next edition of this book. 



AH records should be mailed to:
