Greetings, Shorebirders!
We are pleased to announce the formation of a new Listserve, hosted by =
the
University of Georgia, that also hosts Georgia Birds, and Pelagics-SE.
Shorebirds (or Waders, if you prefer) are a unique and fascinating group =
of
birds, because of their wide ranges throughout the world, and some of =
the
most impressive migrations of all birds, flying from the Arctic tundra =
all
the way to southern South America, Africa and Australia and back again, =
with
vagrant species turning up in many unexpected locations. They can be
confoundingly difficult to identify, with many similar species and
overlapping characteristics. And due to habitat loss of wetlands in
breeding, migration stopover and wintering grounds, many species are =
facing
severe ecological pressures and population losses. The focus of this
listserve is to create a worldwide forum for reporting the observation =
of
seasonal migration in differing areas, discovery of rarities, discussion =
of
identification problems, and for promotion of knowledge of conservation
issues concerning shorebirds.
As with other lists, please keep posts on the topic of shorebirds. Off
topic posts, such as general political comments, religion, flaming, etc, =
are
not allowed. Commercial topics are not encouraged, unless they are
announcements concerning upcoming events that feature Shorebirds. =
Please
use discretion as you would with other lists.

Please leave the Subject line of the email blank
Frequently asked questions will be answered in a following email.
Attachments (such as photos) are not currently possible. Links to =
photos
for discussion should be posted in the email, and we hope to be able to =
set
up a site to download photos to.
We look forward to reading of sightings and shorebird movements from all
over the world, and learning more about these fascinating birds. Thank =
you
to Steve Holzman of FWS and Sara Schweitzer of UGA for their efforts to =
set
up this service.
Best regards and good birding!
