Brush: When I scan the authors of e-mail senders as my MS Outlook downloads, your name is one I always look forward to seeing. Susan Schaezler below is entirely correct. SATXBirds was started in the late 1990s--early 2000s due to grumbles about folks reporting what others considered to be of only local interest. One of those species was a Varied Thrush. Nowadays a good portion of what gets reported on SATXBirds also gets posted on TexBirds. The main attraction of SATXBirds seems to be to people who are mainly interested in birding in their local area or who aren't particularly interested in going after birds that are a hundred miles or further away. If you do start a CenTex group, please let the rest of us know about it and the area you will be covering. Thanks!

The problem has been that many get admonished for posting entire lists. I personally like it and it allows me to see the movement across the state, but it does limit my posting. I find it most irritating to see the comments made on lists--that is why there is a delete key for those that don't like it. You never see that on the local lists and that makes it easier for more people to communicate. Susan Schaezler WarblerWoods.org 501(c)(3) Cibolo/Schertz Lone Star Land Steward Winner 2011.

I think lots of birders are like myself and are always interested in the parade of birds across our state.
