mou-net -- Minnesota Ornithologists' Discussion List
About mou-net	English (USA)
Welcome to MOU-net, an internet mailing list operated by the Minnesota Ornithologists' Union (MOU). MOU-Net is an electronic mailing list made available to all persons interested in the birds of Minnesota. It is a place where birders can share their sightings -- notable or otherwise -- with other interested people. We particularly invite posts of observations that contribute to the understanding of the birds in the state. This includes sightings of birds that are unusual, in an unusual location or out of season, or present in significantly higher numbers than normally expected. The MOU will send out transcripts of its telelphone hotlines to people subscribed to this mailing list. MOU-net is also a place where you can ask questions or make observations regarding the identification, behavior, and natural history of birds in Minnesota. Finally, it is available for conducting or reporting on the business of the MOU and its affiliated clubs. These postings might include announcements of planned activities (such as a field trip) or simply be notices of upcoming meetings. Courtesy Please limit your posts to the areas described above. If this list loses its focus, then it also loses its value. There are other mailing lists available for people interested in other issues. Of course, different people have different views as to what constitutes a "notable" sighting. Ultimately, you are the only person who can judge what is important to you, and your decision to post a sighting or question here will be respected. This is an open mailing list. Unless noted otherwise, messages are posted here by individuals, not by the MOU as an organization. No effort is made to review messages prior to their dissemination to all subscribers. There is no guarantee of the accuracy of any message. Messages must be courteous and respectful of others. People who flagrantly or repeatedly abuse this expectation could see their posting privileges revoked, either temporarily or permanently. Presumably this action will never be required. MOU-net Contacts: Dave Cahlander (david@cahlander.com) for operational or technical issues. To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the mou-net Archives.
