This is a friendly reminder, as we enter into spring migration: please provide your general location when specifying a bird sighting **with the exception of owl sightings**.
Do not assume that all 1,100+ people on this eList, or the countless thousands who anonymously read the postings on the various web archives, know where your named birding patch is. If you do not wish to identify the specific location of your sighting, make that clear in your message and at least provide city and/or town. Please also be sure you have signed any posting with your name – most email programs make it possible to include an email signature, automatically. Remember, this is a state-wide eList. Thank you and good birding!
