[cobirds] trouble with signing up for CBCs

Cobirders, is anyone else having trouble signing up for CBCs? I have tried two browsers (Safari and Chrome) and just get sent in circles with both. There doesn’t seem to be a way to get to a sign up page as in the past. Any suggestions? Elena Holly Klaver United States Court Certified Inter

I too am a big proponent of COBirds remaining as the main conduit for timely reporting on rarities, as opposed to Facebook. My quibbles with FB as a platform in general are many and probably too numerous to mention here at this time, but suffice it to say that FB, even for dedicated groups like the

Tools in the tool box can never be a bad thing. I am not much of a chaser these days although there are some I would pursue. Last years Red-naped Sapsucker was one of those I did chase, and in that case, checking the latest and best info on FB would have been helpful. We did see the bird the o
