What is SFBirds?
SFBirds is a mailing list hosted at yahoogroups.com for topics relating to birding in San Francisco proper.

What are suitable posts for this list?
Birding lists in Northern California are highly regional and divided along county lines. To keep the list focused, please confine your posts to issues of relating to sighting and distribution of birds within San Francisco proper. Brief postings regarding events IN San Francisco of special interest to the SF Birding public are also on topic. Topics of general interest to the larger birding community (e.g. Ivory-billed Woodpecker status) are NOT on topic; please use a forum such as BirdChat to discuss these issues.

Where do I post issues pertaining to conservation of birds and habitat in San Francisco?
Conservation of our natural areas and avifauna is obviously of critical importance given the population density in San Francisco. In order to better focus on these matters, there is a separate mailing list set up specifically to focus on conservation matters, organized by our local chapter of Audubon, the Golden Gate Audubon Society. The list can be found at:

NOTE: EarthLink users (and other users with white list spam filters):
You MUST add the moderator of this list (i.e. me) to your white (non-filtered) list. Failure to do so will resort in you being permanently on moderated status for this list as I have neither the time nor the proclivity to add each of you separately to your own white list.
