NeilyWorld      Canadian Listers' Corner

         Continuing what has been a tradition in Canada since 1981, NeilyWorld will now be hosting Canadian Listers' Corner. It was started many years ago by Gerry Bennett as a column in Birdfinding in Canada (1981-89), then continued in Canadian Birding by Eric Tull (1990-93). When that publication ceased, Eric kept the Listers' Corner alive as a separate annual publication in 1994 and 1995. The same format was continued by Burke Korol from 1996 through 2004. High praise to all three of these visionaries, who inspired so many to get even more enjoyment from their hobby. Listers' Corner will now be operated by Larry Neily right here at Neilyworld.

         Starting with the 2011 issue, Canadian Listers' Corner will be an electronic version (PDF) which you may download, to either display on screen (use your full screen width for best viewing) or save and print your own copy to read on the bus or sofa. The extremely flexible deadline is January 31 to submit provincial lists, Canada lists, locality lists, winter lists, etc. The compiler is now asking you to submit only new or changed totals (but don't forget any) via email, but you may use either the old or new forms as well, depending on your preference. There is now no subscription fee (since there is no way to control distribution once I have posted the PDF file), but contributions toward the effort are still welcome. For inquires, check below or send an e-mail to Larry Neily at larry.neily@rogers.com. This website will provide listing forms and other information, such as area definitions. Perhaps, eventually, we will be able to provide updating forms and perhaps even the reports online. This has exciting possibilities.
