Would it be possible to keep this a place to post birds sightings and = not worry about what the records committee will or won't accept. As a = naturalist and avid birder I appreciate reports of bird sightings and = often use the info for my job. I get these messages at work and have = recently become overrun by numerous discussions of other things...
Or, Maybe I should just keep my thoughts to myself... jamie -----Original Message----- From: Jim Williams [mailto:two-j...@att.net] Sent: Friday, October 31, 2003 2:13 PM To: MOU-net Subject: [mou] whooper swan records Dennis Martin writes: <If the records committee even considered this record it would be very misleading.> How can it be misleading to consider the record?
