Purpose
To provide to members and non-members concise, timely information related to the Club and significant regional bird sightings. This is a moderated list. It is not a discussion list.

Posting Privileges
List administrators (As of 11/05 Bert Filemyr, Paul Guris)
Officers of the Club
Other people designated by the list administrators

Message Types
1. A weekly (Sunday or Monday) digest of information including but not limited to

• Meetings
• Field trips
• Conservation issues
• Website enhancements
• Announcements for members
• Other meetings of possible interest to members.

2. Rare bird alerts. In most instances, we will do a single posting, giving general information, and a source of details and follow up information.

• Sightings of most “review” species in PA, NJ and DE. (For example, we would post a message if a Vermilion Flycatcher is in NJ but not post a Rufous Hummingbird since it is an annual occurrence).
• Sightings of mega rarities in states that are within a drivable distance from the Philadelphia area. (For example a Black-tailed Gull in Vermont.)

3. News of an unexpected or urgent nature. Two examples are

• Meeting cancellation due to weather
• The passing of a member.

Administrative issues

1. The list administrators will be responsible for most messages generated on this list serve. They will seek out and identify several point people in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and in Delaware to help monitor bird sightings. When there is a significant sighting, these people will contact a list administrator to have the information posted. In extraordinary circumstances they will be able to post directly to the list.

2. All members of the club are encouraged to subscribe. New members are automatically subscribed. Subscriptions can be managed on the Club website.
