Birders
I'm sure I've mentioned this before but Ontbirds has Posting Guidelines
for crafting messages. Following the guidelines can help others find birds.
Key to a effective post is clear and concise directions. Directions
should be included in every Ontbirds message.
Include the subject bird with a recognizable location name in the
subject line of your message.
Add extra information if it will help the next person prepare or find
the bird (bring a scope, be prepared to walk etc).
For more suggestions about posting on Ontbirds please review our Posting
Guidelines which can be read at
http://www.ofo.ca/information/ontbirdsguide.php
Finally it's always a good thing to remind yourself this is email. Once
the send button is hit, an Ontbirds post goes to almost 2700 inboxes and
a host of web applications. Save yourself some grief, before sending a
message read it one more time.
