As you are well aware, mou-net receives little email traffic these days as observers have mostly moved towards other media for spreading word about a rare bird. Mou-rba, in particular, has been used hardly at all. In fact, only four messages have been sent on this particular listserv over the last four years, and only one of those mentioned a Rare Regular, Casual or Accidental species. So, we are considering shutting down mou-rba.
If you have any reason why you think mou-rba should NOT be closed down, please email me directly sometime in the next week. (No need to "reply all") Thank you, Paul *Paul Budde* *MOU Website and List Service Chair* *[email protected] <[email protected]>* ---- Join or Leave mou-rba: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-rba Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-rba.html Only reports of Accidentals, Casuals, Rare-regulars, first state records, out-of-range and out-of-season birds are allowed on mou-rba. To familiarize yourself with the status of each species on the official state checklist of Minnesota's birds, see https://moumn.org/mourc/checklist.php.
