Had to google it and came across one on the first page of Google. It turned out to be bogus? It was blank. People were able to access the NSBS facebook, THANKS to Blake Maybank who published the genuine NSBS facebook address in his email yesterday. Unfortunately, people are forced to register in order to enter/ access the NSBS Facebook, which is very disappointing. I feel strongly it should be made PUBLIC! As I said before, many organizations and businesses including my brother's have made their Facebooks public and open to anyone, which I think is good for all. The important thing is ACCESSIBILITY for all. I have no problem about people having to register in order to make a comment, respond, share photos or post bird sightings. I also have no problems with people loving FB. Nature NS is really for everyone at all levels. We are able to get emails directly in our email boxes. We are all happy to help out with each other and with information and problems with the identification. Any reports on birds, leps, bugs, crawlies, and other creatures are more than welcome. Unfortunately, questions go un-answered or ignored so that people drop out possibly feeling embarrassed or whatever. There is a lot of people who do not belong to Facebook for different valid reasons. Just a few concerns to share with you all. Thanks Liz ............ Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Spring Migration Bird Count -- WHERE IS THE INFO? Hi everyone: I took a quick break from marking exams to clear out my NatureNS folder and came across this thread. The information about the count (along with the forms) has been on the cork board section of the NSBS web site for as long as I can recall. I have just updated the field trip information listing about that and included a link to the cork board. I will be mentioning the NSMC in the next e-mail note to all members, which I had hoped to get out by the end of the day, as the NSMC lists have been updated in terms of taxonomy, the change of a species name to common gallinule, and to use the Canadian spelling of "gray" throughout. Since I just got the new forms on the site today, I didn't want people to use the old ones without knowing that new ones were available. With regard to the society's facebook page, there has been a boldface note at the top of the NSBS page, saying that we can now be found on Facebook, for some time. I mentioned it at the end of last year in one of my e-mail notes to the membership, and it was in my president's report which should have been in the issue of NS Birds that just went out, but it seems to have missed that issue. As to the listing in the Blomidon Naturalist Society's website, I'm the chair of the BNS program committee and that announcement gets put in every year, with just the local information. In any case, all of the information is now available, and should be known to most NSBS members a month before the actual event.
