Re: [mou-net] Responsible to share?

I'm in Iowa and monitor the list to see what we might expect for winter invasions. So I (and others in Iowa) are very interested in movements of redpolls, snowy's and other northern species. The recent discussions of ravens was interesting too since I didn't realize how close this species ranged
