[nysbirds-l] ADMIN: LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!!!

[Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes]

I know how easy it is to fire off an email from smartphones, but **PLEASE** 
take that extra minute to type out more specifically WHERE a bird sighting 
occurred. Some of these iPhone/Android/Smartphone messages are coming through 
with incredibly cryptic location information, or none at all.

This eList has a subscribership of 1,194 email addresses from areas all over 
New York State and the Northeast (and elsewhere), and there are countless 
**hundreds** of additional readers who glean information from various online 
web archives of these postings.

Think about how you would describe the location to a birder visiting your area.

Thanks in advance for taking that extra minute and good birding!!

Sincerely,
Chris T-H

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!

Sincerely,
Chris T-H

[Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes]

Good afternoon,

I think this may be my last request for the day. As a reminder, please be sure 
to indicate the general location of your sightings, even if a message is a 
follow-up to a posting from several days earlier. It only helps to clarify 
information to anyone reading a message posted to NYSbirds-L. There are new 
people joining all the time and there are always visitors to the area who are 
gleaning information from the Web archives. Please keep this in mind when 
providing location information in your postings.

There is one caveat, though: please do NOT post specific locations of roosting 
owls on NYSbirds-L – see my "Owls and Ethical Birding" message, archived here: 
http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/msg08965.html (sorry about 
the odd formatting).

Thanks very much and good birding!

Sincerely,
Chris T-H
