Re: [Maine-birds] Berwick Pine warbler

My two cents: I appreciate your posts Robin. I scan the Maine Birds Facebook page sometimes, but can't keep up with all the posts there. So I'm happy to have any rare highlights noted here (including the location). The only thing that I would find even more helpful is if you could include a direct link to the specific post, rather than just the group page, as it can be pretty difficult to find the...

Re: [Maine-birds] Berwick Pine warbler

I'm not complaining. The more options we have for finding good birds, the better. But is there a way to access this information for those of who do not do Facebook, and who do not wish to be involved with Facebook? Wally S.
