Cayugabirds-L List Welcome and Basics

 

Welcome to the Cayugabirds-L eList!

 

Cayugabirds-L is an email list (the List) focused on the discussion of birds and birding in the Finger Lakes Region, centered around the Cayuga Lake Basin.

 

The primary purpose of the List is to disseminate information about wild bird sightings in and around the Finger Lakes Region in a timely manner and to provide an effective electronic forum for Upstate New York area birders.

 

Questions and limited discussion on topics such as bird behavior, identification, conservation, and distribution—especially as these subjects relate to wild birds in the Finger Lakes Region and around the Cayuga Lake Basin—are welcomed and encouraged. The List is not for the discussion of pet birds or falconry.

 

Ultimately, the determination of what is and is not appropriate to discuss on the List—or when a discussion needs to end—will be made by the Listowner.
