IMPORTANT NOTICE... THE END! I am discontinuing the Daily report of rare and uncommon bird sightings to which you are subscribed. It will be nice to have my evenings back! I will continue to manage the CTBirds open discussion list. Everything that has been going into the Daily report already appeared on CTBirds. If you want that information you need to follow CTBirds. That could be a subscription (many emails), or a Digest subscription (about 10% as many emails), or just reading it on the web. There is also a rare alert system that is part of eBird that any enthusiast might find valuable. The link to subscribe to CTBirds is here: http://lists.ctbirding.org/mailman/listinfo/ctbirds_lists.ctbirding.org The official CTBirds archive, going back to 2007, is here: http://lists.ctbirding.org/pipermail/ctbirds_lists.ctbirding.org/ The ABA has an easier to read archive of the most recent posts. I particularly like their search feature. http://birding.aba.org/maillist/CT01 Surfbirds also has an archive of recent CTBirds messages: http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/CTBirds But my favorite archive is Sialia. I find their regional view a great way to look beyond Connecticut into nearby states. http://digest.sialia.com/?rm=one_list;id=102 http://digest.sialia.com/?rm=index;days_ago=0;region=6 I consider subscribing to the eBird Rare Bird Alerts emails worthwhile. It does a FAR better job than the Daily report in zeroing in on truly rare species, and takes into account seasonality. Subscriptions can be for an hourly or a daily email. For those who keep their records in eBird it can even alert you to reports of what you have not seen based on your own list on eBird. http://ebird.org/ebird/alerts Thanks to all for your support of this report over the years. Good birding! Roy Harvey Beacon Falls, CT
