All members of the list please take the time to read the guidelines for MOU-NET listed below. These are also available on the MOU website:
http://www.cbs.umn.edu/~mou/listservice.html The discussion of Whooper Swan records is allowed as stated in the MOU-NET guidelines. If you have an issue with the guidelines the MOU ECC Committee is more than happy to discuss this with you since this a service offered to all MOU members. Regards, Terry Brashear Co-moderator for MOU-NET MOU-Net is an electronic mailing list made available to all persons interested in the birds of Minnesota. It is a place where birders can share their notable sightings with other interested people. MOU-Net is not meant to be a mailing list for posting every sighting; rather, look here for posts of observations that contribute to the understanding of the birds in the state. This includes sightings of birds that are unusual, in an unusual location or out of season, or present in significantly higher numbers than normally expected. The MOU will send out transcripts of its telelphone hotlines to people subscribed to this mailing list. You can use these transcripts as a guide to what is "notable". MOU-Net is also a place where you can ask questions or make observations regarding the identification, behavior, and natural history of birds in Minnesota. Finally, it is available for conducting or reporting on the business of the MOU and its affiliated clubs. These postings might include announcements of planned activities (such as a field trip) or simply be notices of upcoming meetings. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
