Purpose
To provide to members and non-members concise, timely information related to the DVOC and to significant regional bird sightings. This is a moderated list, not a discussion list. The DVOC E-mail List is available to both members and non-members.

Posting Privileges
List administrators (As of 10/08 Bert Filemyr, Paul Guris, Steve Kacir )
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

For many years Frank Windfelder maintained the DVOC e-mail list. His timely updates on hot birds and club activities were greatly appreciated. The Club is indebted to him for his many hours of work maintaining our e-mail system prior to the current e-mail list.
