Good morning NYS birders! This is just a friendly reminder to be sure to try to include the location of your bird sightings, such that anyone glancing at the eList postings for the first time can easily figure out where, exactly, the sighting occurred.
There are persons who are either new to join this eList or who are visiting NYS for a day and reading these eList postings for the first time on the ABA Birding News site (http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01); either way, the location information for a sighting should be included in each posting, as best as possible. Ideally, the description would be sufficient enough to allow a reader to locate the site quickly via a search on Google. For example: Jones Beach SP [State Park] West End, Montezuma NWR [National Wildlife Refuge] Knox-Marcellus Marsh, or Hamlin Beach SP [State Park] Parking Lot #4. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me off-list. Thanks and good birding!
