Ohio-birds is an email discussion list (mailing list) for Ohio birders and those interested in Ohio birds. Subscribers to Ohio-birds are able to:
•	share information about bird sightings in Ohio
•	review the most recent bird sighting reports and rare bird alerts from across the state
•	learn (and ask) about places to look for birds in Ohio
•	discuss and debate the occurrence, distribution, identification, and ecology of Ohio birds

Ohio-birds encourages the open discussion of Ohio birds and birding. In general, we ask that participants limit their messages to matters related to birds and birding within our state. 

•	The purpose of this mailing list is to discuss wild Ohio birds. However, it is NOT limited to reports of rarities, or even to sightings of birds in Ohio. Discussions of birding sites in Ohio, birding events in or near Ohio, and anything else that relates to wild Ohio birds are all appropriate topics.

•	Brief messages that are not strictly within the above guidelines may also be appropriate. Examples would be sightings outside Ohio that are close enough to be of interest to Ohio birders, messages about non-bird Ohio natural history topics, and messages about birding topics that are not strictly related to Ohio. However, if your topic falls within this group of subjects, please think twice before posting it. Ask yourself whether this is really the best place on the Internet to post your message. Messages in this group should be limited to brief announcements, and should not become the subject of extended discussions.

•	Remember that you are writing to over 1,000 birders, who are scattered across the state. No messages are going to be interesting to all of them, and most messages won’t even be interesting to the majority of them. But if your message isn’t likely to be interesting to at least a large number of that group of Ohio birders, it probably doesn’t belong here.

Thank you for your cooperation.
