I agree with Jim and everyone who posted on this thread.  I do not have a
Facebook account and I am no fan of Facebook even if I was willing to
monitor 10 Facebook sites to keep up.  Facebook is a black hole for
advertising dollars and the damage is palpable (see today's StarTribune, op
ed page A9). I do miss seeing the reports and, sadly, miss many current
sightings and interesting observations.  A big 'thank you' to Alyssa, Kim,
and others who go the extra mile to post for us.

Amen to Mr. Chapman’s comments on Facebook. It is a scourge, a curse, a misery. 
There is no conscience there, only greed and complete disregard for damage 
done. Information found on Facebook comes with a very high price. 
We are fortunate to have this listserv. It has a purpose (that should be

I'm adding my thanks and appreciation to all the above, as MOU and mnbird
are where I post. That happens rarely for now; volunteer gigs are ramping
up a bit, and COVID is not ramping down, so birding is confined to exercise
walks close to home. If I start seeing more migration action, though, MOU
is where I'll post. Thanks again, to everyone who keeps us connected!

Wow when you word it as a quarter century I feel really old - I've been

So, we're coming up on a quarter century of the public MOU-Net in a couple
of months. Quite a milestone! Feels like we should have some sort of
celebration.

Re: [mou-net] Purpose of this listserv?

2020-08-13 Thread Bob Dunlap
Hi M.L. (and others),

The mission of the listserve has not changed, and all such posts are still
encouraged. What has changed is that there are now several other platforms
that birders use to share bird sightings and other information, including
most notably Facebook but also Twitter and Instagram among still others.
eBird also allows people to sign up for rare bird alerts in a given county,
state, or country. All of this has resulted in a fragmented landscape of
bird sightings, and in many ways it’s now up to the individual to determine
how connected they want to be. This is in no means limited to MOU-net, as
other listserves around the country have been dealing with the same issue
for about a decade now. Several in the MOU try to ensure that notable
sightings are being cross-posted among platforms, so that if a rare bird is
posted on Facebook it will in turn get posted on MOU-net, and their efforts
are much appreciated.

Finally, we’re just about at the end of the summer lull in terms of bird
activity, and we’ve already seen some shorebird reports trickling in which
is typical for this time of year. As migration picks up over the remainder
of the month I think we can expect to see more reports.
