For those who are especially interested in shorebirds here is a message = that I received from a Florida listserve. =20 =20 Earl Orf web site <http://www.earlorfphotos.com> www.earlorfphotos.com =20 =20 -----Original Message----- From: nflbi...@yahoogroups.com [mailto:nflbi...@yahoogroups.com] On = Behalf Of R. D. Wallace Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2005 5:47 PM To: 2FlaBirding; 2Birdbrains; 2CaribbeanBirding; 2NFLbirds; 2pelagics; 2PelagicsSE Subject: [nflbirds] New International Shorebird ListServe =20 Greetings, Shorebirders! We are pleased to announce the formation of a new Listserve, hosted by = the University of Georgia, that also hosts Georgia Birds, and Pelagics-SE. Shorebirds (or Waders, if you prefer) are a unique and fascinating group = of birds, because of their wide ranges throughout the world, and some of = the most impressive migrations of all birds, flying from the Arctic tundra = all the way to southern South America, Africa and Australia and back again, = with vagrant species turning up in many unexpected locations. They can be confoundingly difficult to identify, with many similar species and overlapping characteristics. And due to habitat loss of wetlands in breeding, migration stopover and wintering grounds, many species are = facing severe ecological pressures and population losses. The focus of this listserve is to create a worldwide forum for reporting the observation = of seasonal migration in differing areas, discovery of rarities, discussion = of identification problems, and for promotion of knowledge of conservation issues concerning shorebirds. As with other lists, please keep posts on the topic of shorebirds. Off topic posts, such as general political comments, religion, flaming, etc, = are not allowed. Commercial topics are not encouraged, unless they are announcements concerning upcoming events that feature Shorebirds. = Please use discretion as you would with other lists.

We look forward to reading of sightings and shorebird movements from all over the world, and learning more about these fascinating birds.
