Just my 1.5 cents. The lack of posts I think is an unintended consequence of a few springs ago, where people were overloading the Listserv. Ever sense then, the post have declined. I still post most of my trips to Lawrence Woods, and when there is a special bird that I find (if someone else doesn't beat me to it. :-D .) I do think that more post from Magee should happen...maybe a designated person could post a daily wrap-up...kind of like what Bruce does for Blendon Woods...unless a rare bird pops up...
