For clarification, <info...> is the email address for questions to
Colorado Field Ornithologists (CFO). Emails to that address are viewed by
members of the CFO board who read those emails and respond. Thomas
Heinrich's question posted to Cobirds on March 29 related to an issue with
CFO. It is being addressed internally by CFO board members. A separate
response has been sent to Mr. Heinrich.
