Readers are urged to report new reports and any unusual dates or occurrences to the Curator of Birds, Florida Museum of Natural History, Gainesville, Florida 32611.
Not true!
Observations of rare and unusual species or individuals outside the usual range of occurrence should be sent to the Florida Ornithological Society's Bird Observation Committee (
http://www.fosbirds.org/content/submit-observation) , or if it is a review species (
http://www.fosbirds.org/official-florida-state-bird-list), sent to the FOS Records Committee (
http://www.fosbirds.org/content/fos-bird-records-species-documentation). Don't send them to the curator of birds at the FLMNH, unless it is a fossil. Sending observations to the curator of the FOSRC ended with the retirement of Oliver Austin in the 1970s!
