NFC-L – List Welcome and Basics
Welcome to NFC-L!
NFC-L is an email list (the List) focused on the discussion of the night flight calls of migratory birds.
The primary purpose of the List is to provide an effective electronic forum for experienced birders to discuss the identification of night flight calls of migratory birds, exchange ideas about recording equipment design and setup, disseminate information about active or predicted night flights in your area, and to better understand weather and RADAR data as they relate to patterns of nocturnal bird migration.
Initially, attachments containing limited-sized sound files, photographs, frame-grabs, or other documents to help further the discussion and shared knowledge of nocturnal bird migration will be acceptable and are encouraged. Be advised that attachments can also serve as a mode for spreading infectious computer viruses. Use caution when opening any attachment.
Ultimately, the determination of what is and is not appropriate to discuss on the List, and when a discussion should end, will be made by the Listowner.
