I originally suggested the creation of this listserv so that the emails that were coming to me alone about first of year (FOY) sightings and county records (for BAMONA) and that I then summarized and redistributed would simply go to the members on the list (and I would pick up whatever I needed in the process). This will mean that folks will get a lot of email, especially as the butterfly season gets intense. I do not know if this will cause a hardship for folks on the list or not. Please reply to me sstedman@xxxxxxxxxx about how you would like to see FOY sightings handled and about how you would like to see county records for BAMONA handled, and I will do my best to accommodate. Being somewhat burdened with other tasks (and that job that pays the bills), I had wanted to find a way to get FOY data and county record data without the time-consuming task of synthesizing all the records for a week or a month, and I would still prefer that if at all possible. Anyway, drop a line if you plan to be part of the group that submits FOY sightings and/or county record sightings and let me k now your thoughts. Thanks, Steve Stedman Cookeville (Putnam County) Note: emails with lots of photos attached tend to cause emailboxes to fill up fast, so we should probably all be judicious about communicating in that way. There are lots of free places to post photos if there is a need to make them available. Steve
