Dear CoBirders,

As we head into the peak of spring migration, allow me this reminder:

1. *all CoBirds posts should have a signature line with your full name and
city*. The actual rule for this Google Group calls for listing your *state*,
too, but this really seems much less necessary... but so easy to do.  The
signature line is a matter of communication courtesy to the whole group,
and helps to put the report in some context. Plus names are not always
evident from email addresses, and sometimes birders post from an email
address that list someone else's name (such as a spouse). So please include
your name and city at least with every post.

2. Please, when appropriate, *include a location and county name in your
subject line when reporting birds*. This is helpful for readers to place
the report. The list has a large number of members, some new, some older,
some near and some far. Readers may not be familiar with the location you
mention, or may be uncertain of county. If it is not easy to include the
location/county in the subject line (or maybe there are multiple spots),
then at least mention the county as you mention the location in the body of
the email so it is clear. As always, use good judgement and err on the side
of being helpful to the reader.

The official CoBirds "rules of the road" are here:
