My understanding of the purpose of the Google group Maine Birds List Serve is as an alert system for sightings of rare birds. To this end, I have forwarded sightings of rare birds as they have been reported to the Facebook group MAINE Birds. I do not include info other than the town as the reader can follow the link provided to the Facebook group where the OP can be contacted. If the members of the Google group list serve find this to be more trouble than it is worth (would rather not know at all than follow a link), I'll gladly abstain once informed by the moderator of that wish.

As much as I love birds and hearing about others sightings, this kind of message seems to be inappropriate for this list.
It does not include any location information or even who has seen the bird. (so I might at least guess what part of the state is involved). I am not a facebook member so the link won't work for me.
I believe anyone on facebook who want to hear what is happening on the Mainebirds facebook page can get the updates directly from the source.
If these messages ARE helpful for people then please tell me to flap my wings and fly away. But I feel they don't fit in with the rest of what is posted here.
Thanks,
Steve Plumb
