Just a general question, spurred by the mockingbird email (but not about the mockingbird specifically)--how many bird "things" (report sources) are people signed up for? For example, the first email titled 'No Mockingbird???' implied knowledge among the general MOU-net recipients about a mockingbird in the first place (I didn't get an email about one previously, anyway). There's no location mentioned in that or the follow-up email, either--is it assumed this is common knowledge? I'm guessing it's a bird reported on ebird (for which I don't yet have an account, so that could be my problem), but I have multiple email listserv acounts and am on multiple Minnesota bird-related Facbook groups.
I'm not really a chaser, so it's not affecting me much but I am just generally curious. That said, if something interesting were to be found next door I could theoretically not know about it if I'm not getting all the right reports. My question is not MOU-net specific; even if I was on ebird, I'd miss things that are only posted here, or on Facebook, etc. And it happens on the Facebook pages it happens too, where a report comes through, often suggesting a unique bird has been somewhere for days, and that everyone knows about it, but I can't be the only one who finds themselves the last to know, am I? For those of you who think you have a handle on pretty much all the birding reports locally, feel free to write back with the list of sources you're receiving. I realize that ebird is "THE" source for a lot of birders, yet I'm curious about the average number of bird-related sources people are subscribing/contributing to. I consider myself a serious (whatever that means) birder, and probably haven't heard of them all. :) Kyle Te Poel Stillwater Township, MN On Fri, May 8, 2020 at 3:54 PM Julie Zempel <juliewinterzem...@gmail.com> wrote: > Andy Nyhus got it this morning sometime around or before 8:30 am.
