It shouldn't be a big deal (you know the delete key) but regularly
birders feel strongly enough about posting guidelines to take the time
write the coordinator to raise concern.
Our posting guidelines can be found at the Ontario Field Ornithologists'
website
http://www.ofo.ca/webapp/site/page/view/information.ontbirdsguide
The guidelines are by design open-ended but the basic concept is to
supply a venue for reporting interesting birds that people might have a
chance of relocating.
To that end we ask for directs with every post.
Ontbirds is not looking for lists of birds seen. Such lists should be
posted to eBird. First of the season birds are also better reported on
eBird.
It should go almost without saying that extreme caution and
consideration should be taken when reports breeding birds on territory.
Do not report birds whose nesting success could be compromised by
increased birder activity.
