I am also a long- time Listserv member and would like to add that this List makes it potentially easier to keep current on sightings since there are so many FB pages out there, each with their own interests but none being as comprehensive as the Listserv once was.

There has also been discussions about conservation, the ever changing taxonomy revisions and much more. It should still be serving those functions as many Ohio birders do not get their information on FB.

I always thought it was supposed to be for rarities or uncommon birds, but it seems lately that the majority of the emails are about backyard birds or what a person has seen while birding that day.
