Hello, Everyone. I think most subscribers to the ListServ understand that it has become a place for sharing bird sightings and other bird-related announcements, and less of a forum for discussion. I think it continues to be a valuable resource and I'm grateful to OOS and Miami University for making it available. For those craving more of a forum for discussion, where photos and links can be shared quickly and easily, I encourage you to join the Birding Ohio Group Page on Facebook. It's easy to use, easy to join, and with 582 members, it has become the largest and most active statewide Facebook birding group in the country. Here's a link: http://www.facebook.com/groups/BirdingOhio The group was started by Ohio birder Jeff Loughman and is sponsored by Black Swamp Bird Observatory. Thanks and good birding!
