I've noticed that I regularly miss posts to this list, especially local rarities. The latest was the note from Brendan Fogarty copied in Ben Cacece's hot spot post.
Curious, are others experiencing the same problem? Could this be related to messages being cc'd to the list rather than posted directly? Have not noticed gaps in direct conversations. Not seeing the missing messages in other folders. Not the end of the world but seems like another factor in the increasingly fragmented dissemination of noteworthy bird sightings in our region. We, as a community, need to come up with a simple solution that does not require a deluge of eBird alert notifications or subscriptions to many local and statewide lists and facebook groups. It's ironic but I feel less clued in now than I did 5 years ago. Back to the weekly RBA to find out what I've missed?
