[cobirds] West Slope Birding Network (WSBN) posts now available at ABA Birding News

Hello, Birders.

As many of you know, COBirds posts can be accessed via the American Birding Association's "Birding News" service (http://birding.aba.org). The link for COBirds is http://birding.aba.org/maillist/CO01. Thanks to the efforts of Lynne Miller and Greg Neise, posts to the West Slope Birding Network (WSBN) are now available via "Birding News." Here is the link:

If you check out the link, you'll find, um, not much at all. That's because the site needs to be populated with posts starting from the moment that this service was set up by the ABA (which happened yesterday, I believe). I hope someone on the West Slope will post something soon--just a test message would be fine--so that we can get this service up and running.

Although I didn't get to see any of the following birds, I can report that Graham Etherington, visiting from Norwich, saw a bunch of nice birds this past weekend: the usual flock of Barrow's Goldeneyes in Silverthorne, Summit County, late Saturday, Jan. 17, and then a White-throated Sparrow, an American Tree Sparrow, and outlandish numbers of rosy-finches and Sharp-tailed Grouse in and around Steamboat Springs, Routt County, on Sunday morning, Jan. 18. Here are some great photos by Graham:

Thanks again to Lynne Miller and Greg Neise for providing WSBN posts to birders everywhere.
