I hope this listserve can accomodate more than just "RARE" birds. The listserve needs to serve a number of varying needs of different types of birders in Ohio. I find the reports from the birders in the Columbus area of what they are seeing at the birding sites they visit very helpful in determining where I go birding. And the birds I want to see are not all that "RARE". Owls of all types interest me, I still haven't found a purple finch, etc, etc. Those birds are not "RARE", but I sure appreciate the reports from other birders to help me find them. So that's my two or three cents worth. RaySilvey Columbus ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
