Good evening! This message is an update and reminder of the Info and List Rules for NYSbirds-L.
Currently, there are nearly 1,000 subscribed email addresses to this eList. What this means is that extreme care should be taken when posting to NYSbirds-L. Be sure your message is appropriate for everyone, really, everyone on NYSbirds-L. Please do *not* include attachments (pictures, audio clips, PDFs, Word documents, etc.) when posting to NYSbirds-L. These types of attachments can lead to unnecessary clutter on the eList server and result in delays in the processing of potentially time-sensitive postings to the List. Instead, please provide a link to a URL where interested subscribers can go to, in order to view images or documents. As we approach the breeding season, please be extremely cautious when attempting to see breeding birds, especially rare or sensitive breeders, in New York State (i.e., Blue Grosbeak, Kentucky Warbler, etc.). Using playbacks during the breeding season is not advisable because of the potentially negative impacts to their success. One person may have minimal impact, but when more than one person uses playbacks on a single rare bird multiple times per day, this can have a significant negative impact. Please use common sense and be courteous to the birds and your fellow birders in this respect. In order to subscribe to, leave from, or temporarily postpone your subscription (vacation setting) from NYSbirds-L, please use the instructions outlined at NortheastBirding.com<http://NortheastBirding.com> (http://www.NortheastBirding.com). Please take a moment to review the List Rules at NortheastBirding.com<http://NortheastBirding.com>. If we all try to adhere to these basic rules and use common sense, NYSbirds-L will continue to run smoothly and be a pleasant forum for everyone. Please do not hesitate to contact me, off List, if you have any questions. I will do my best to respond as quickly as possible, but sometimes a delay in responding may occur - don't hesitate to ping on me again! Thanks very much and good birding!
