Hello all,
Don, your action of probing eBird data to track my whereabouts, and perhaps=
the whereabouts of other NSBS Executive members, is unsettling, to say the=
least. It hadn=92t occurred to me that anyone would use eBird data to tra=
ck people and to do so violates one=92s sense of safety, especially when on=
e is often alone in the field. To publicly accuse me or other NSBS Executi=
ve members of not following public health and emergency measure orders thre=
atens to harm NSBS Executive member reputations, including my own. I ackno=
wledge that you did not identify anyone by name, but the very short list of=
NSHA Executive is publicly available, as is eBird data. In addition, I am=
aware that the information that was =91pointed out=92 to you was related t=
o my own eBird reports.
As the president of the NSBS, I felt it was important for me to monitor thi=
s listserv and get to know you all. I have rarely contributed because I am=
relatively new to this community and I wanted to make sure I learned and r=
espected group norms. However, I felt that it was important that I communi=
cate to you now, to set the record straight and to make a couple requests.
First, Don, I ask that you simply stop targeting me and other members of th=
e NSBS Executive. We are answerable to the authorities, not to you.
Second, to all, I acknowledge that it is not the content you signed up for =
and I ask that you kindly tolerate this email.
It is my sincere hope that we are able to let this thread fade away so that=
we can get back to sharing stories about nature.
Sincerely,
Diane LeBlanc

I had made a comment that even some members of the NSBS executive appeared =
to be not heeding the instructions and staying home. It has been pointed=
out to me that the people I was talking about were actually birding within=
walking distance of their homes. The executive are heeding the health ins=
tructions and not driving to birding spots. I have been rightly chastised =
and I apologize to all.
Don
