Some of us choose not to do Facebook or Twitter for innumerable reasons. NYSBIRDS is a State list accessible to any and all (even beyond its borders). It is free to join for free merely with an email address and as far as I know doesn’t track your “likes”. It has no political bent and you need

This list is not accessible unless you are a member, and unless you know it exists, not easy to find. Perhaps a push to the dozens of facebook, discord, whatsapp and groupme lists with instructions on how to join might make it more useful. I have seen that most visiting birders use Facebook, since

Cross posting is always encouraged and we do have a handful of folks who always make the effort to cross post. Unfortunately, we have more takers than givers and the spin offs of a variety of groups makes it even harder. A reminder like the one from Mr. Block is alway good to let folks know

Hi Jennifer, I seem to have touched a nerve. On the contrary, rather than being elitist, NYSBIRDS-L is accessible to anyone. No one needs to join a group to read posts on the NY State list. It's only necessary to go to the ABA Web site to find birding listservs from all over the country.

Unfortunately, Jennifer, you reference an exclusively NYC-based Groupme and a largely useless Long Island-based WhatsApp Group. This is a state-wide list and, as you might imagine, this is a bird which people beyond the confines of the NYC-metro area might want to see! Would you suggest it

The Sulphur was posted to the Manhattan Rare Bird Groupme by 11am. I saw it reposted to the BIrdfinders Whatsap at 11:15. There are many bird lists and groups beyond this one. On Sun, Oct 9, 2022 at 7:29 PM Deborah Allen wrote: > Andrew, > > > > You are absolutely right. I really don't know why

Andrew, You are absolutely right. I really don't know why people who saw the bird in the afternoon did not post to NYSBIRDS-L.Probably they are not subscribed to the list - that's my guess. The flycatcher was not in Wave Hill in the afternoon but a bit north of there, ranging from Sycamore

Just got back from Wave Hill in the bronx and the woman at the gate who was closing up said it wasn't seen since this am.  A shame it was never posted here.  Only saw it posted to the FB group and that was hours later.  Shame shame on these people who don't post here and don't post on the FB
