Well written. We, birders, have stepped backwards.

You can turn on “Alerts” in eBird for an area or specific bird species which will then list what’s being seen. What we are all missing in this environment, however, is the context of when and where things are being seen, plus the associated stories and information sharing that comes on listserves like INWBirders. While eBird has taken some of the traffic away from other listserves around the country, many remain pretty active given the information exchange benefits – I spend a lot of time in Colorado and theirs is still a great source of dialog. There are also a few social media pages and local chat groups (via text or Whatsapp) which also work like the general listserves, but am not on any of those so can’t point you directly, sorry.
