****** MESSAGE POSTED TO THE OLD LIST ******* Hear, hear to what Sheridan said! I belong to and use both and enjoy both each in a different way. I do value the Texbirds archives and the ability to see photos and the discussion together on facebook. Stennie Meadours San Leon In a message dated 11/16/2012 7:34:24 P.M.

I think we need to remember no one is obligated to share any bird sightings. People do it as a courtesy. I encourage my Facebook birding friends to share significant sightings on the list server, but it is up to them. I like the immediacy of Facebook and the ability to post photos. I certainly don't see anyone using it as a method of circumventing the rules of the list. One thing that can be both a positive and a negative is the ability to make short comments on the posts, allowing some conversation. Sometimes it becomes cumbersome; sometimes its a bit too personal, with private jokes, etc. Despite that, I enjoy it.
