Dear CoBirders,
-- A couple of people asked why the Texas festival thread was interrupted. It is helpful to occasionally recall the list rules and what options they do offer for out-of-state bird reports. Here are the list rules, from the Colorado Field Ornithologists page: https://cobirds.org/CFOPage.aspx?pg=2
I paste below, from that page, the points that pertain to out of state reports. Note that reports of chasable rare birds in neighboring states are permitted, as we enjoyed with the recent Bluetail occurrence in Wyoming (#8 under What Can be Posted). Also, out-of-state (even out-of-country) trip reports and photos may be posted to CoBirds with a one time post that includes a link to the report or photos (#7 under What Not to Post). But other discussion, and reports of rarities from more distant states are not appropriate for the CoBirds list.
What CAN be posted to COBirds?
1. COBirds is a Google Group with over 1400 members for the discussion of Colorado birds. It's all about sharing the fun of birding in Colorado.
8. Interesting, rare and chaseable birds in neighboring states can and should be posted to this list.
What SHOULD NOT be posted to COBirds?
7. Trip lists and/or bird related travel reports from outside of Colorado may not be posted on COBirds. If you want to share your trip lists/reports from other locations, please post them on your personal website and then send a single message to COBirds directing subscribers to that location.
8. Requests for out-of-state hotspots, travel tips, or reference books.
Thank you,
