Won¹t you join us.? A NOTE ABOUT THIS LISTSERV: The Ohio Ornithological Society is proud to provide the OHIOBIRDS listserv for all of our community. It provides us with updated bird sightings and also allows us to connect with others that share our passion. We would like to remind everyone of our Ohio Birding Forum, which is now easier to access‹right from the new home page on our website. It now offers RSS, feeds and updated topics. Topics include: Beginners¹ Corner, Attracting Birds, Birding Equipment, Photography, Identification, and Natural History. It is also contains a collective photo gallery of birds and of birders! The recent postings of proper ³netiquette² are valid and we would like to remind everyone that we provide both listservs for all birders any misconduct should be reported to us immediately. Everyone should respect each other on and off the listserv. We need to be mindful that the Ohio birding community contains people of all levels of talent, knowledge, interest, and involvement‹and the OOS strives to welcome everyone to join us.
