The real issue for me is the realization that so much 'right now' birding
information is somewhere else than here. I like the conversational reports
here that describe habitats encountered and such along with the birds
seen. I've enjoyed comparing what I see here to the ebird alert lists, but
now finding out that a lot of birders may not even be posting to this one
anymore is daunting. Are they still using ebird?
