I am an ardent follower of this list serve.  I rely on it for sightings so I
can plan my birding.  I am not interested in checking several social media
sites.  This site works fine and I strongly urge we continue to use it as
the central site for postings!

Perhaps someone could list all of these Facebook groups.
Especially if you are suggesting dropping the ohio birds listerv.

The world has now moved to social media. The Trumbull County Western
Meadowlark was never posted on the listserv. If you don't follow the 10 or
so facebook groups in Ohio or have someone follow them for you, you will not
be informed of the sightings. Even the old time birders and most of the top
birders in the state have stopped posting here. I think it is sad not for
Ohio birders but for anyone visiting the state and wanting to see birds. How
does an out of state birder find out what is being seen? They can't even
know what facebooks to look at and with most being closed they can't see the
posts anyway.

is this and so it goes with sightings.
