Hi all:
=20
It will be nice to get back to NS again to Naturens and the Rare Bird Alert=
. I hope that both of these sites continue as they are and do not go the w=
ay of Ontario Birds. The list administrator for Ontario Birds is not a ver=
y nice person. Everyone else is great though. The site itself has become =
very cold, structured and impersonable. At least this is my impression of =
it over the past two years or so. I do not believe that the list person is=
friendly to birders outside of Ontario. This is my impression only and I =
could be wrong. In terms of their structure you only list the bird and dir=
ections and nothing else. It has to be a rare bird and if not woo unto the=
lister. Large movements of birds and other such sightings which we find r=
elevant and might produce something good are frowned upon on the Ontario li=
st. =20
=20
I would say about 85 percent violate the terms of the list, but nothing is =
said to Ontario birders. Likely most do not post important things and many=
observations and good birds are missed. Well have to go and hope all is w=
ell with everyone in NS.
