This was the first walk of the season which will continue Saturdays until July 20.

[nysbirds-l] ebird email policy
Apparently it is an intentional policy of ebird not to provide email addresses of posters. I think this is a TERRIBLE policy. On several occasions I have wanted to contact the poster about a reported bird. The policy should be changed to display email address as the default. If someone wants to hide theirs, OK, that could be an option. And, yes, of course I would display mine, just as I am doing now. Evidently some people think that listserves like this one are obsolete, in favor of ebird. Without the ability to contact the poster of a record, I think ebird is far less useful than a listserve.
