It is unfortunate, in my view, that birding list-serves are nearing extinction. EBird is a wonderful resource for many aspects of birding, but it is not a good forum to discuss birds and matters related to birding. If locating and listing birds is all one is interested in, eBird is probably a better tool than list serves. But you can't have a discussion about molt, migration patterns and weather, behaviour, birding ethics, and on and on in eBird. I find consideration of those matters more interesting than building my lists (not that I don't work on that, too). As for social media, many of us are not interested in contributing to the interests and wealth of Zuckerberg, Musk, et al. I realize I am a dinosaur and list-serves aren't coming back, but their demise is a loss to our appreciation and understanding of birds.

I don't believe many people are using this list service for birding anymore. Most of the people who are birding regularly have moved to eBird which sends out alerts to everybody whenever you post a good bird. Otherwise they are using Discord or Whatsapp for birding discussions.

A very important person to this Bird List just asked me to do a favor for her and I would cut off my right arm for her.
However, I suspect this might be a scam. Is anyone aware of any scams on NF Birders?
