Re:[nysbirds-l] The Scope of the NYSBirds List
I don't know how difficult the logistics if implementing this would be, and more streamlined tech solutions are probably available (e.g. RSS feed), but a possible solution might be a digest email of all the various state lists rolled into one, available as an additional service for subscribers to any of those lists. I currently subscribe to the state-wide list and receive a single digest email (shortly after 12am every night). For someone like myself, who can't go off at the drop of a hat to chase rarities, this delivery option (as opposed to piecemeal emails) makes it easier to quickly scan for what's interesting, ignore what's not, and then delete. A multi-list digest would also be easier than what I currently have to resort to for news from elsewhere in the state—monitoring the other 6 state lists on the ABA's online archives. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
