This is the first chance I have to add my "thanks to everyone who makes this listserve possible and keeps it going".(I've been very busy this week- I'm an "uber" for my grandchildren getting them to basketball camp, day camp, soccer camp, etc....add weeding & prepping to plant now that the rain eased up.)
I do manage to get some backyard birding in. A nest of 5 Bluebird eggs is due to hatch soon. Tree Swallows are in another box and will also be hatching soon. A third box is empty since House Sparrows took over a nest of 5 Bluebird eggs.
Recent birds on our two acres: Robin (many), Eastern Bluebird, Tree Swallow, Song Sparrow, Chipping Sparrow, Mockingbird, Baltimore Oriole, Tufted Titmouse, Mourning Dove, House Finch, Goldfinch, RT Hummingbird, Northern Flicker, Downy, Hairy, Red-bellied Woodpecker, White-breasted Nuthatch, Brown Thrasher, Gray Catbird, Grackle, Red-winged Blackbird, Blue Jay, Indigo Bunting, Cedar Waxwing, Carolina Wren, Northern Cardinal, European Starling, Field Sparrow, Barn Swallow,Other birds around the valley- Red-tailed Hawk, Turkey Vulture, Black Vulture, American Kestrel, Killdeer, Common Raven and two woodland birds made an appearance this past week but both moved on - a Pileated Woodpecker and and Eastern Wood-Pewee.Early on there were two pair of Brown Thrashers, but now it seems that there is only one nesting pair. On a positive note, just over the hill from our property, I spotted Brown Thrashers several times when passing by.
Good summer birding,

I was glad to see that there are so many that still read posts on the listserve. I apologize for not posting all of my observations on this listserve.
I will say that as long as Audubon provides the Listserve for free that there is no danger of losing it.
I checked the number of subscribers and there are 1489. That said, it looks like half are set to no mail. That is just an estimate eyeing the scroll line as to where the no mail command begins.

Thank you Karyn, Lisa, Kim, Becky, and all who replied. I'm glad there are many of you who still prefer the Listservs too!

I would miss them, Amy! The ebird lists are way too cumbersome
Thanks Dave! I too won't give up yet 🙂, no one has said to "stop" since I took the reins of this RBA decades ago.
Not even sure who would continue it or notice if it stopped, but I like having a western PA compilation/history even if I get behind on sending them out. I've also never heard of 'Discord' or 'GroupMe'!
I feel your pain. I had given up on my Eastern PA Birdline when
"up-to-the-second" eBird and text alert reports made my weekly posts
basically "old news", but I still slog through pages and pages of reports
from several different sources in order to write up the Sightings Report for
our local Audubon Society newsletter, so I know how tedious it is. Thanks
for all your past reports.
