Hi All,

I encourage those who have yet to join this group to consider doing so!

For those who have joined already, there is now a second group that is for general Orange County birding discussion. Links and details below

Rare bird alert: https://chat.whatsapp.com/Lf75bh85dNl3rWxQA9h3KN?mode=gi_t

This group is designated ONLY for reports and updates of axtusl rare birds. Read the group description on WhatsApp for more

Discussion group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/K6sv88pm3LUJCgGfXAWfh3?mode=gi_t

This group is for everything else that doesn’t go in the rba group. Again, the description has more details.

Take care and happy birding! Feel free to email me with any questions

Nearly all other major counties in the state have a group like this. The WhatsApp is NOT meant to be a complete replacement of this listserve. It is instead intended to be a faster, and easier supplement in the field for timely rarity reports. I understand a lot of people may wish to continue using the listserve, and therefore encourage future rare bird reports to be sent here as well as WhatsApp. Please read the group description and guidelines for more important information. If this invite link expires, please DM me at <balbhl...>
